Fallen Angel: The Unlikely Rise of Walter Stadnick and the Canadian Hells Angels

good book with great, little known info about the Angels and there members

Couldn't put it down

There is something about secret organizations that has always deeply fed my curiosity. As Chief Wiggum says to his son Ralph, "What is your fascination with my forbidden closet of mystery?" Be it fraternities or Skull & Bones or most especially, motorcycle gangs, every detail is a nugget of info to be savored. Mr. Langton gets so deep inside the mind of Walter Stadnick and so deep into the life of the hyper-secret Hells Angels, he provides an amazingly clear window into the workings of the organization. Observations both great and small give civilians a taste of this nomadic and dangerous existence. The topic of motorcycle gangs continues to be pressing and current, especially in light of the murders in Shedden over this past weekend. The story of this Hells Angel is important knowledge.
