Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century

By Hunter S. Thompson

Categories: Biographies & Memoirs

Kingdom of Fear, first published in 2003, is Hunter S. Thompson's memoir, a collection of stories from his Louisville boyhood, his early journalism and his gonzo career, gathered with essays, letters and transcripts. Thompson recounts run-ins with authority, including a 1990 police search of his Owl Farm home in Woody Creek, Colorado, and closes with angry commentary on the United States after the September 11 attacks and the buildup to the Iraq War.
