Thompson's infamous rule breaking - in his journalism, in his life, and under the law - changed the shape of American letters, and the face of American icons. KINGDOM OF FEAR traces the course of Thompson's life as a rebel - from a smart-mouthed Kentucky kid flaunting all authority to a convention-defying journalist who came to personify a wild fusion of fact, fiction, and mind-altering substances.".

(The author) focuses on the historical development of Japanese film, illustrated by a series of typical Japanese film posters.
