"Thompson's perceptive views on American politics are as essential today as they were in the gonzo '70s. The last third of the book is required reading for anybody who wants to know how Clinton went from triumphant poor-boy hero to fat elitist adulterer in two short years, and how the old, tight and wealthy Republicans managed to position themselves as radical change- mongers (see: "The Contract For America") at the same time."
