Thompson (1937-2005) commandeered the international limelight with his best-selling comic masterpiece "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".Following his 1966 debut "Hell's Angels", Thompson displayed an uncanny flair for inserting himself into the epicentre of the major sociopolitical events of a generation.
