Book Description
Narrated by the visionary founding member, Hell's Angel provides a fascinating all-access pass to the secret world of the notorious Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. Sonny Barger recounts the birth of the original Oakland Hell's Angels and the four turbulent decades that followed. Hell's Angel also chronicles the way the HAMC revolutionized the look of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle and built what has become a worldwide bike-riding fraternity, a beacon for freedom-seekers the world over.
Dozens of photos, including many from private collections and from noted photographers, provide visual documentation to this extraordinary tale. Never simply a story about motorcycles, colorful characters, and high-speed thrills, Hell's Angel is the ultimate outlaw's tale of loyalty and betrayal, subcultures and brotherhood, and the real price of freedom.

Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club.......2007-07-19
I bought this book for my brother-in-law. So I had to ask him what he thought. He told me how much he enjoyed the book. So buy this book for anybody that is a biker or a biker at heart.
Best of Angels.......2007-04-30
I've read just about every Hells Angels book out there and this is by far the most interesting and easiest to follow.
"IF YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGH INSULT A BIKER".......2007-02-17
A first hand and personal look into the life of a Hell's Angel.Where better to find out what the Hell's Angels are all about than from a founding member ,the President for many,many years and who has been in the center of the organization for 40 years. There is nothing he doesn't know about the organization since he was there through it all,and had a hand in everything that happened.
There has been much written and much coverage in the media over the years,some of it true but a lot of it pure fiction and legend.From reading this book ,you'll come to the conclusion,that by and large ,the fiction and legend is heavily slanted towards putting the Hell's Angles in as bad a light as possible.
More often than not,when violence erupted,it was started by law enforcement,town officials or other club riders who decided to hassle or take on the Hell's Angels. These people soon found out that their actions would not be tolerated and the Hell's Angels would stand by their own,to the end and if others wanted to " take them on " it was their choice. When the smoke cleared ,the media and police would alwys blame the riders.
The clubs were made up of men who were independent to a fault, to everything except the loyalty to each other,and the rules of the club. You learn that you didn't decide if you wanted to join,the club decided ;and either you obeyed or you were gone.The Hell's Angel's were tough men,who lived hard ,who gave no quarter and asked for none.
In all the years I've seen groups of Riders on the highway,I have always found them very courteous and well behaved.In later years, there seems to be a lot in the media about their illegal activities such as drugs;but everyone knows there is a lot of that,it's a tough business,of territorial disputes,beatings and killing;but there's a lot of people involved other than Moror Cycle clubs.Heck! even law enforcement and other officials turn up on the wrong side on those issues.
Some people get nervous with the sight of a group of Riders ;but if you give them respect,I don't expect they will give you any trouble.
As a personal experience,several years ago,I was attending a big outdoor event of Country Music.David Allan Coe was one of the star performers and everything was going very well.There were a lot of security types around that gave the impression that they'd just love to take you on if you dare get out of line.In other words,almost hoping something would happen,so they could "move in". Well,about an hour before David Allan Coe was to appear ,a large group of Motorcycle Club members arrived.I can't remember what club they were;Hell's Angels,Satan's Choice,Outlaws or whatever. The crowd seemed to get nervous and many even moved back and probably a few left. I noticed they drove their big machines into the parking area ,all in one spot,dismounted,took off their expensive helmets and simply sat them on their bike seats ;then proceeded to the concert. I did,however, notice several uniformed police officers (not the security personnel) remained in the parking area. It was obvious,that noboby was going to mess with thir "stuff". Coe came on,did his show,the Bikers and Women enjoyed the concert,and were very well behaved.A lot of them had a knife on their belts
(but never took them out),several smoked,and many were even friendly with the crowd.When Coe finished, the Riders had seen what they had come to see,everyone enjoyed themselves,and they got up and left very orderly.The next act came on and the concert continued as if they had never been there.The only thing thst changed was a lot of music fans obtained a different feeling for these people than they had developed from the media.
Of course,there,s a lot of people who would not like their lifestyle,but that's their problem,not the Bikers.
Of course,they break laws,so do a lot of businessmen,politicians and others.When they get caught,they pay in spades,as Sonny did,that can't be said of many other types of lawbreakers.
You will also find a lot of comments on other movies and books about the Hell's Angles but I found the contrast in what Sonny had to say about Hunter S Thompson ,and the reviewers comments on his book on the Angles ,very interesting.
A great read if you want to know what the Hell's Angles are all about.
Take The Patch & Scratch.......2007-01-13
Sonny Barger's tales are Slurs of Confabulations, False Recollections, Fuzzy Logics, basics of "FMS" (False Memory Syndrome). Sonny Barger demonstrates a "Limitless Capacity for Denail" therefore Distorting His Own Statements from Yesteryear. Mr. Barger was evidently under the impression, by placing his name upon a book that the reading public would be sensationalized into the Illusion Barger's some sort of an American Hero, Hardly. Mr. Barger speaks of Brotherhood & Freedom; Never Defining either. (Brotherhood was betrayal of silence after the RICO Trial. Freedom was before Barger's First Conviction, since he has never known real freedom.) All too-much in Barger's Book can be refuted by its mere statements. This book was obviously just put together for money and cover-ups. Publisher should have included an airsickness bag with each book. 10% of a book that covers over 40-years of Hells Angels History was spent taking cheap shots at the Government, over the RICO Trail 1979/1980. This was a Gamble by the Publisher, too-many have known otherwise. Publisher changing the title would help. (Hell's Angel: The Lies and Crimes of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club)
An interesting memoir and lifestory. .......2006-12-31
Love him or hate him, Sonny Barger has one interesting story to tell. In this book he chronicles his life as a child being kicked out of school for hitting the principal, the beginnings of his life on a motorcycle, the creation phase of what would become the Hell's Angels motorcycle club, his legal battles, prison time, and other related Hell's Angels stuff.
Sonny Barger is quite a writer, and this book is a well written look at an era in history of when the Hell's Angels ruled the biker world with an iron fist. You will not read another book like this, and you need not have an extensive education on the Hell's Angels to understand this book. While it's somewhat shocking, it has a lot of entertainment value and even some inspiration here and there.
Customer Reviews:
Yves. Again!.......2007-08-16
This is sort of a weird book. Yves starts the book writing in the style of a wannabe Hunter S. Thompson and then decides that he may as well just start "writing". I would say that the abrupt transition starts in maybe the first 80 pages.
I believe that Yves Lavigne is probably the most knowledgeable author in the world about the major motorcycle clubs, other than insiders like Barger (or even Wethern) or undercovers like Queen or Dobyns (through authors), or in-touch contacts like Thompson.
But Yves has some sort of agenda that makes him report every myth and fantasy that has EVER been posited as if it is a FACT. It doesn't take long to tire of this book if you have read everything else, because you have to believe, based upon acquired knowledge, that 30% of what he says is suspect, at best.
I respect Lavigne for his obviously superior knowledge of the topic as a whole. But read every other account and determine for yourself if he has some personal agenda, even if it is as simple as money.
Lame but not all bad.......2007-01-19
The guy that wrote this book was really trying to show how cool he is. I mean the the way he wrote it was over the top. You can tell he was trying to prove something. I have read Sonny's book and others and they much better written.
This guy skips around, repeats things he's previously talked about in the book. And the way he talks to the reader is just crude. I mean, sure he's dealing with a rough subject, but come on, use better english.
And I know what I am talking about. I lived the underground life for many years. I knew people like this, and this writer is someone who has never lived this life. He writes like a person who has never been around the people he is writing about.
This book is an over the top, stereotypical view of the big red machine written by a total sidewalk commando, or rather keyboard commando.
This book could have been a much better or clearer view of the HA than it is, but the writer's crude "trying to prove how cool I am" vocabulary, unfocused chapter organization, and other poor writing errors make this book a real dud. I'm still reading it, it's not so horrible that I put it down, but it came close.
This book should have never been published the way it is. The publisher should be ashamed.
If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand..........2007-01-10
Long live the Big Red Machine! 8181818181818181818181.......
I had a personal inside view into that world in my teens........2006-10-27
I grew up in the the near west suburbs of Chicago from 55-73, when we moved to DuPage County. There were 2 large biker gangs in the Lyons,IL area called the Chicago Outlaws and the Hells Henchmen. I knew several of the Outlaws as acquaintances, there were a few members who I had casually met that were not very nice and I was afraid of them. One member of the Outlaws was my best friends boyfriends older brother, John Klimes. He was always very nice to both me and my girlfriend whenever we saw him. He was murdered in McCook, IL in 1981. There was a huge biker funeral for him and it was on the local news. They never arrested anyone for his murder,but rumor has it that they wanted to kill both John and his girlfriend. His girlfriend worked at a local strip club, Michael's Magic Touch, she could placed the head of the Outlaws as the last person seen with a young woman the night before she was found dead in Busse Woods. There was also speculation that the head of the Outlaws was afraid that John was going to take over the Outlaws Lyons chapter. The talk around town at the time was that "they" were trying to kill both John and his girlfriend. A bomb was planted under John's Bronco and when he went over train tracks in McCook,IL it exploded killing him, his girlfriend was not in the vehicle at the time. I was saddened at John's death because he had always been very nice to me and came to my defense when one of the bikers was threatening me. During the news footage I discovered he had been under surveillance by the FBI for drugs trafficing, prostitution and other illegal activites. That side of him I had never seen. His younger brother was anti-drugs and a very nice guy, we did not meet him until he came home from Vietman in 70-71. John "Burrito" Klimes murder has never been solved. If you go the the McCook Police department website, the open murder is posted there. This book filled in some of the information I was not aware of. Interesting read!
fascinating........2006-09-12
Pretty good read, it did repeat the info quite a bit over and over.
But still a very good look into the lives of the Biker gang.

Customer Reviews:
This must be a joke.......2007-09-09
How could anyone even consider publishing a photo journal of the HAMC without including it's american roots ? Perhaps the authors next endeavor will be a photo history of rock n roll with pictures of only the back street boys. This book is a disgrace.
My review of Mr. Shaylor photo book.......2007-07-27
I agree whole heartedly with the one gentleman who was dissapointed that the picture book had no representation of the U.S. Hells Angels - particularly the famous, celebrated and of course notorious California Hells Angels where it all began. I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book and couldn't wait to open it up and go through the pics. As I flipped (and flipped and flipped) my dissapointment mounted as I became aware there would be no pics, stories etc. of all the famous/notorious Angels I had read about in other outlaw mc books. In that regard this book was a huge dissapointment to me. Who cares about European/foreign Hells Angels? I want the real thing! The pictures are good and impressive I will say but I felt no bond to European i.e. "foreign" Angels - they're just different over there. For example, in some of the photos you see these "foreign" Angels wearing huge bulbous helmets and, of all things, TENNIS SHOES while riding their bikes! Please! I was dissapointed in the book to say the least. Thank you.
A message to kidmonk.......2006-08-21
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I appreciate the sentiment, but would take issue with the point you make regarding the lack of US member inclusion. As you may know, the HAMC are a world wide club and as such, any 'snapshot' of the club could represent the club as a whole. With this in mind, I would encourage you to go through the book again, and see it as it was meant to be....a motorcycle club without boundries.
EXCELLENT PHOTO JOURNAL.......2006-02-25
THE BOOK IS A PHOTO JOURNAL THAT SHOWS YOU WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU GET.
not enough bang in a book about a subject that is pure fire.......2005-07-30
although this book features great and at times candid photography it is handicapped by attempting to deal with a worldwide phenomenon (the hells angels mc) through the eyes of only its UK members...the angels though now global are a pure american institution...they could not have been founded anywhere else in the world with the same results...so it is unfortunant that such a wonderful idea as using unbiased photography to bring the club to life was used in such a limited capacity...the hamc deserves a massive work in this vein...any attempt to bring the angels to the general public without including at least a glimpse of its american roots stands only to leave a sense of unfinshed business in its wake...
