Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga by Hunter S. Thompson | Conversation Starters
Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson vividly recounts his experiences with the most notorious motorcycle gang in California – Hell’s Angels. Back in the mid-1960s, Thompson lived for almost two years with the controversial Angels. They cycle up and down the California coast, they revel in their clan’s anarchic spirit and as their name befits, they raise hell. Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs successfully captures a moment in American history, the beginning of the biker lifestyle. Such countercultural movements were horrifying to America then. Hell’s Angels were first published in 1967 and are still the most gripping and the best account that we have about the truth behind this American legend.
The New York Times Book Review says that Thompson’s language is brilliant and he “has presented us with a close view of a world most of us would never encounter.” Studs Terkel for The Chicago Tribune says that this book is "superb and terrifying."
