Amoeba Music

Canadian journalist Yves Lavigne takes you deeper into the world of the modern motorcycle gang than any journalist has dared—or could stand—to go. Not since Hunter Thompson's Hell's Angels: A Strange And Terrible Saga Of The Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs appeared in 1967 has there been such a thorough account.

 

This book documents the gang's bumpy ride, from its origins as a Stateside club for World War II fighter pilots, to its freewheeling terror tactics of the early sixties, to its absurd flirtation with the hippie scene, to its ultimate search for a legitimate role in the contemporary world of organized crime.
