Bandidos tells the story of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club, penned by their National Presidente, Tony Vartiainen of Australasia. It offers a look at how the club started and progresses through to its envisioned future. The journey begins with the club's inception, featuring original members from over 40 years ago sharing their first-hand experiences.

The narrative moves to the tragic day at Milperra, which resulted in the deaths of seven individuals and led to one of Australia's longest-running trials. It discusses how the members coped with the trial and faced the tragic death of the President, Snotty, in Parklea jail. The book includes rare photographs of the club and its members, detailing how the organisation withstood its early challenges, especially during the trials following Milperra.

The text illustrates their resilience as they rebuilt the club, persevering through adversities, from murdered presidents to attacks on their clubhouses. Today, the Bandidos Motorcycle Club continues to fight for their right to ride together, upholding an unbroken brotherhood founded on love, loyalty, and respect. Everything written in this book is authorised by the club and its Presidente, Tony Vartiainen.
