Angels of Death: Inside the Biker Gangs' Crime Empire - Paperback
by Julian Sher (Author), William Marsden (Author)
From a pair of investigative journalists, the deadly legacy of the Hells Angels-who still remain at large despite efforts to stop them.
For millions of motorcycle riders, it's the ultimate fantasy--to be a Hells Angel. But as Julian Sher and William Marsden have discovered, the reality of the world's foremost biker gang is darker and deadlier than anyone could imagine. With an estimated 2,500 full-patch members in twenty-five countries, the Hells Angels have inspired a global subculture of biker gangs that are among the most feared and violent underworld players. Angels of Death takes readers on a journey into the belly of the beast-inside undercover operations, police shootouts, and biker battle zones. The authors show how law enforcement agencies worldwide are trying to stop-with little success-the biker gangs from spreading their violent outlaw creed around the world.Julian Sher is the author of the Canadian bestseller Until You are Dead -- Steven Truscott's Long Ride into History, a finalist for the Writers' Trust of Canada Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing and winner of the Canadian Authors Association Biography of the Year.
