Hell's Angels

Hunter S. Thompson's seminal work, *Hell's Angels*, offers a "superb and terrifying" (Chicago Tribune) look into the notorious motorcycle gang. Pioneering Gonzo journalist Thompson spent nearly two years living with the Hell's Angels in mid-1960s California, chronicling their anarchic spirit and defining the nascent biker lifestyle and countercultural movements that captivated and repulsed America. With his characteristic bravado, brutal honesty, and incisive eye, Thompson delivers a gripping and "thoughtful piece of work" (The New Yorker) that remains an illuminating portrait of an American legend.
