Publisher Description
Narrated by the visionary founding member, Hell's Angel provides a fascinating all-access pass to the secret world of the notorious Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. Sonny Barger recounts the birth of the original Oakland Hell's Angels and the four turbulent decades that followed. Hell's Angel also chronicles the way the HAMC revolutionized the look of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle and built what has become a worldwide bike-riding fraternity, a beacon for freedom-seekers the world over.
Dozens of photos, including many from private collections and from noted photographers, provide visual documentation to this extraordinary tale. Never simply a story about motorcycles, colorful characters, and high-speed thrills, Hell's Angel is the ultimate outlaw's tale of loyalty and betrayal, subcultures and brotherhood, and the real price of freedom.
Customer Reviews
3 stars at most
A lot of contradictions in the book. Telling people not to smoke cigarettes but handing out speed like it’s cool. Says he’s not into speed but has it in his pocket in a few stories. They say they show respect but talk about a girl not wanting to have sex with one of the members cause he drugged her with LSD and the member “couldn’t understand why” Also seems a little over exaggerated. The book says you’d “always” get into a Grateful Dead concert for free if you were an angel. Always? Good stories if you get passed the fact they’re probably at least slightly fabricated.
