“They’re beating our people!” - the last lifetime edition of the works of Hunter Thompson, author of the famous novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Here the Russian reader has the opportunity to get acquainted with a selection of essays from the creator of the famous gonzo journalism - unbridled, indomitable, insightful and without any respect for generally recognized authorities. The sports column, based on the materials of which the collection was compiled, often served as an excuse for Thompson to talk about politics, war, morals and people and became something of a diary telling what it was like to live at the beginning of a new century in the era of the collapse of the great American Dream. Thompson's observations are always exceptionally accurate, his judgments are sharp, and his style is inimitable. And his attitude to everything that happens in modern America is an example of how you can desperately love your country and that’s why you desperately criticize it.
