Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs is a book written by Hunter S. Thompson, published in 1967 by Random House.[3] It was widely lauded for its up-close and uncompromising look at the Hells Angels motorcycle club, during a time when the gang was highly feared and accused of numerous criminal activities. The New York Times described Thompson's portrayal as "a world most of us would never dare encounter."
It was Thompson's first published book and his first attempt at a nonfiction novel.
Commentary
"Hell's Angels" is about motorcycles gangs, and Thompson's personal experiences with gang members.
Along the way, Thompson has much to say about American history: a history of America as a rootless frontier nation, always on the move. He quotes widely, and can be quite poetic.
