Description
Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga by Hunter S. Thompson is a vivid account of his experiences with California's most notorious motorcycle gang, the Hell's Angels. In the mid-1960s, Thompson spent almost two years living with the Angels, cycling up and down the coast, reveling in their anarchic spirit, and raising hell. Thompson's book captures a singular moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and countercultural movements were electrifying and horrifying America. With his usual bravado, energy, and brutal honesty, Thompson writes with a nuanced and incisive eye, producing a gripping portrait of an American legend. First published in 1967, Hell's Angels remains as illuminating now as it was then, offering a thought-provoking look at the truth behind this iconic group.
