Product Information

Gonzo journalist and literary roustabout Hunter S. Thompson flies with the angels--Hell's Angels, that is--in this short work of nonfiction. "California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur. . . The Menace is loose again." Thus begins Hunter S. Thompson's vivid account of his experiences with California's most notorious motorcycle gang, the Hell's Angels. In the mid-1960s, Thompson spent almost two years living with the controversial Angels, cycling up and down the coast, reveling in the anarchic spirit of their clan, and, as befits their name, raising hell. His book successfully captures a singular moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and when such countercultural movements were electrifying and horrifying America. Thompson, the creator of Gonzo journalism, writes with his usual bravado, energy, and brutal honesty, and with a nuanced and incisive eye; as The New Yorker pointed out, "For all its uninhibited and sardonic humor, Thompson's book is a thoughtful piece of work." As illuminating now as when originally published in 1967, Hell's Angels is a gripping portrait, and the best account we have of the truth behind an American legend.

  • Anything by Hunter S. Thompson

    Well, what's not to like, I mean he was a Colorado rez and he represented something we don't see often: the Genuine Article. He drank, could be a cantankerous so and so, (I read about him too) but he wrote hysterically and honestly and historically. While the Hells Angels allowed him "in", they eventually booted him out, musta said something to upset their fragile sensibilities, but I haven't gotten that far, my significant other says "a good but not great read". I decided to buy it because I read his work whenever I can. It's called "amusement" and sort of enlightening in a light reading kinda way! Hunter really should have run for governor or something, he was that politically astute. That is, if anyone in the State of CO would elect a ...

  • Hell on Wheels

    "Hell's Angels" is one of Hunter S. Thompson's most compelling non-fiction books. However, be forewarned that this tome is not for the faint-of-heart, nor for those offended by profane language and situations. In certain respects, this book could almost be considered an unbelievably riveting sociological monograph,

  • HST journalism pioneer

    I love this book. It is incredibly insightful and exposes a facet of the human being most people fear or ignore, and rarely embrace. I bought this item because I've read the book before, and know from that that it is a must-have for any book collection. Hunter S. Thompson was a pioneer in journalism, to say the least, and should be read by generations to come. His style was dubbed "Gonzo", or off the beaten path. He sometimes wrote about writing the story instead of writing the story to which he was assigned. His take on society and politics as they were at the time of publication is unforgiving, and he pulls no punches like so many other journalists do. His allegiance was to himself, not his publisher(s). He spent a year or so with the Hell's Angels to write this book, ...
