Hell's Angels
It is said that the Hell's Angels could paralyse whole towns with fear. This book explores the questions such as: How much of that reputation was myth and how much was brutal reality?
Hell's Angels was the result- a masterpiece of underground reportage whose free-wheeling, impressionistic style created the legend of Gonzo journalism, and made Thompson's name as the wild man of American writing.

Description
With "long hair in the wind, beards and bandanas flapping, earrings, chain whips...and Harleys flashing chrome", the Hell's Angels erupted into 1960s America, paralysing whole towns with fear.
Determined to discover the truth behind the terrifying reputation of these marauding biker gangs, Hunter S. Thompson spent a year on the road with the Angels, documenting his hair-raising experiences with Charger Charley, Big Frank, Little Jesus and the Gimp.
Hell's Angels is a gripping account of the inner workings and culture of one of the most notorious biker gangs in history, providing an unflinching look into a world of chaos and rebellion. Thompson’s fearless approach and vivid storytelling bring this compilation of his wild journey to life.
