| Description: |
The saga of what happens to campaign junkies behind the scenes of a victorious American presidential campaign - their orgies, their despair and their terror. The author exposes the ugly side of politics at election time. Other work by the author includes "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". |
| Synopsis: |
This book drags you into Mr Bill's Neighbourhood, a world full of fear that stretches from the White House to Hollywood, where power-crazed monsters like Oliver North seize control of a nation and wallow unashamed in a Palace of Power where the only governing ethic is raw lust under a President who Thompson describes as having "the loyalty of a lizard with its tail broken off and the midnight taste of a man who'd double-date with the Revd Jimmy Swaggert". It is an ugly and disillusioning spectacle, one that only the merciful death of Richard M. Nixon explored here in all its glorious symbolism - could defuse. |
