Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas author Hunter S. Thompson rocked the literary world with his mind-bending style of Gonzo journalism. First published in 1966, Hell’s Angels is Thompson’s up-close and personal look at the infamous motorcycle gang during the time when its moniker was most feared.

if you want to understand the origin history of the Hells Angel's and their lingo this is a good listen.

doesn't have any information from the past 4-5 decades. A follow up book would be awesome 👌

I only read this book as my son recommended it and I wanted to use it for discussions with him.
I remember trying to read Fear and Loathing years ago and hating it so much I gave up on it after a few pages. I really enjoyed Hell's Angels. It was well written and offered powerful insights into the media, police, drugs, judicial system, and violence. How ' stories' in modern media are sometimes fabricated, but are so powerful they lead to becoming a new reality.
Although set in California in the mid 1960's, it is a very powerful insight into modern culture of today . Thank you Alex for telling me about this book.

Insightful and Historical
