Customer Reviews

excellent

This book was excellent, it painted a really good picture of how the Hell's Angels are vulnerable from within. This book depicts with true detail about how Anthony Tait worked his way up through the ranks while being being the most graphic informant in the FBI's history. A must read for anybody with interest in the outlaws mc's of today.

A good read

If you are interested in so-called Outlaw Bikers, this is the book for you. Mr. Tait was one of the highest ranking HA members in America, all the while working for "the other side". For those "81 Supporters" who have written negative reviews, keep in mind that Tony earned the right to wear that patch, and that's more than you have done. I had to chuckle when I read Sonny's book and he seemed to imply that Tony was a wimp. Tony rose to the sergeant at arms position because he whipped everyone, Angel and non-Angel, that challenged him.

terribly written

I've read hundreds of true crime books, and this is the worst. The author has an annoying prejudice against the HA and it shows (I thought the writer was supposed to be impartial)

first time read - shocking, but sadly true.

This is exactly what the HELLS ANGELS M.C. (International) are up against. The expected move into terror, attacking other one percenters, and generally throwing away our original lifestyle. This book is really worth reading for two main reasons. ONE - just to see what happens when pure capitalism gets hold of a few greedy people, TWO - allowing the name HELLS ANGELS to be brought into the mainstream, which is opposite to the anti-corporate thing our founders wished. It is sad but true, and the HELLS ANGELS M.C.I., will stay out ''in the cold'' a little while longer thanks. ps- All interested people should read this book, but we must tell you - and other one percenters, there are true club members out there who wish not to offer murder and crime to our children - if ya know where to look.

Attention Getting however interesting.

The book is very interesting and held my attention. It was true to life as far as the red tape that our government has plased on Law Enforcement. The book was just a JOY to read.
