I'm a bit of a Hunter Thompson fan, so thought it was get across this one. An interesting insight into the lives and culture of the Hell's Angels circa 1960-70s.
Possibly the only journalist crazy enough to live, ride and write about the Hell's Angels on their own terms, and coping his fair share of brawls in the mean time, Thompson writes his accounts of his time with America's, once most feared, outlaws.
Written from a journalists perspective, Hunter goes into detail about the contrasts between what was written in the media and political reports compared to the facts of the fraternity at the time.
Hunter certainly doesn't paint the Angels as anything more than they are, but presents the facts based on what he knew first hand.
Very interesting read.
(I'm now up-to-date on my books from this year - until I finish the five chapters I have left on my current book that is.)
