Product 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.

Ordered two books from Amazon. This review is for the 1st of the two. Order was relatively low priced. Delivery and shipment was good. Still reading and loving the book.
Hell's Angel March 21, 2008
I like the way he writes, he says it like he feels it, and I appreciate that. I did not feel like I was being lied to, no sugar coating here.
An Ego Trip? March 21, 2008
But why wouldn't it be? Clearly, being the founder and long-time leader of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club would require a huge ego and huge confidence. Barger has both in spades, on display for all in this very readable book.
I enjoyed this book not only for what it contains but also for what it doesn't contain. Barger gives us a taste of what the Hells Angels used to be in their glory days, and doesn't try to whitewash SOME of their behavior. Very obviously what started out as a bunch of guys out for a good time evolved into a different animal. However, he does whitewash some of the nastier aspects of the club and completely ignores or denies others, but that is no surprise. Openly discussing or admitting some of their documented crimes would open Barger up to further investigation and further incarceration.
In order to get a complete picture, read this book along with George Wethern's informative, interesting, gripping but badly ghost-written account. Something closer to the truth can then be seen after absorbing both accounts.
Hubby loved it! January 18, 2008
Kept him busy until...well he's still reading it. He keeps it in the "library" so he only reads a few paragraphs at a time. Then he comes out and tells me about what he read. Like I care! Bought to keep him entertained, not me.

I bought this book for my brother-in-law. So I had to ask him what he thought. He told me how much he enjoyed the book. So buy this book for anybody that is a biker or a biker at heart.
