Publisher Description
The only authorized, authentic book about the Hell's Angels by founding member, Sonny Barger
Hell's Angel chronicles the origins and rise of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club through the eyes of its founding member. Sonny Barger started the Oakland chapter of the Hell’s Angels in the late 50s with a loose-knit group of high school dropouts and social outcasts. Bonded by the love of motorcycles, they formed a cadre of hard-driving hombres and answered the call of the open road.
Hell's Angel is not only a story of motorcycles, it is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, subcultures and brotherhood and freedom. It is Sonny’s fight for personal freedom and his right to exist with a band of individuals who choose an alternative life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"All we needed was gasoline and a place to sleep." That statement pretty much sums up the life and times of Sonny Barger, former founding member of the infamous Hell's Angels motorcycle gang. This captivating and provocative insider account provides unlimited access to the inner workings of the group. John Pruden narrates the life and times of Barger via a straightforward, no-frills performance. Pruden's everyman narration matches the tone of the author's prose, and he ably brings to life the fascinating story and endless array of colorful characters. Listeners beware: this audio edition is a bare-knuckle punch that might just bring you to your knees. A William Morris paperback.

Good book, but.....
Great book, Sonny tells you his story, and doesn't hold back. But the technology has let him down and they have taken the pictures out. This might not have been so bad, in fact you probably would not have known they were missing, but some fool left the captions in.
