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 Harley-Davidson 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 a life outside the law.
This raw, firsthand account lays bare the code of the world's most famous motorcycle club:
True Crime Memoir: Told in his own words, Sonny Barger recounts the events that defined a generation and made the Hell’s Angels a symbol of rebellion.American Outlaws: Discover the story behind the Oakland chapter’s formation from a loose-knit group of social outcasts into a disciplined cadre bonded by the open road.Brotherhood and Betrayal: A gritty look at the fierce loyalty, rigid code, and brutal consequences that held the club together—and sometimes tore it apart.Counterculture History: Go inside the sizzle of the acid-drenched sixties, the clashes with the law, and the fight for personal freedom that shook the establishment.
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.

Pictures???
While the description says the pics are inn the book, I can't see them anywhere. All I find are the 'under the pic descriptions' seemingly all by themselves. This was a MASSIVE disappointment to me.
Hell's Angel
I read the whole book in one sitting. I enjoyed it very much. There are no images in this ebook. If I knew this before hand I would of not purchased this book. The content is excellent but there are formatting errors throughout. I will not purchase another Harper Collins ebook until they produce a complete and properly formatted product.
Absolutely the truth
This is a great book to show people exactly as it is but there is always things left out.. I lived the wife life of a active hells angel .. the life for a wife is not always glory and happiness the life can destroy a family.. living second to the club is absolutely not glamorous by any means but the book is very well written and I would recommend anyone to read it...
