Renegades Robert Ward's Collected Stories of American Tough Guys

"Novelist Ward ("Shedding Skin") presents a collection of previously published pieces from his freelance days in the 1960s-70s. Ward's articles are interesting. Essential reading for those interested in new journalism." --"Library Journal," February 2012"This collection of essays is sure to appeal to fans of [Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson]. Ward tells fascinating stories about fascinating people, but unlike traditional journalism, the author is a key element in his stories. For fans of first-person journalism, this makes great reading." --"Booklist," March 2012
