Kingdom of Fear (2003)
A memoir by the gonzo journalist, along with commentary on 9/11 and its aftermath.
Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 (1973)
With the same drug-addled alacrity and jaundiced wit that
made Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a hilarious hit,
Hunter S. Thompson turns his savage eye and
gonzo heart to the repellent and seductive race for President. He
deconstructs the 1972 campaigns of idealist
George McGovern. and political
hack Richard Nixon, ending up with a political vision that is eerily
prophetic.A classic!

Timothy Leary: Outside Looking In: Appreciations, Castigations, and Reminiscences (1999) by Robert Forte
A memorial volume to one of this century's most
colorful and pioneering figures in the consciousness movement
A wide array of individuals from all stages of Leary's life provides a
comprehensive view of the man and his impact on American culture
One of the most influential and controversial people of the 20th
century, Timothy Leary inspired profound feelings--both pro and
con--from everyone with whom he came into contact. He was extravagant,
grandiose, enthusiastic, erratic, and an unrelenting proponent of
expanding consciousness and challenging authority. His experiments with
psilocybin and LSD at Harvard University and Millbrook, New York, were
instrumental in propelling the nation into the psychedelic era of the
1960s. From the 1980s until his death in 1996 he fully embraced the
possibilities of freedom offered by the developments in computer
technology and the instant communication made possible by the Internet.
The essence of Leary's life has often been reduced to the celebrated
formula of "Turn On, Tune In, and Drop Out." The wider implications of
this esoteric call to communion have been lost, just as the multifaceted
nature of Leary's personality was obscured by the superficial spin put
on his life and ideas. In this book a wide array of individuals from all
stages of Leary's life, friends and foes alike, provides a more complete
view of the man and his impact on American culture.
It is still too early to know how posterity will judge the man and his
ideas, but Timothy Leary: Outside Looking In shows that Leary was
often so far ahead of his time that few could follow the extensive range
of his thought.
