Book Review: Very informative book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book with loads of informationabout the motrocycle scene and the motorcycle clubs such as Bandidos,Hells Angels Gypsy Jokers and other australian motorcycle clubs.The author who is a psychologist dual citizenship and started life in U.S.A would make one wonder how someone who was not a patch wearer and did not have a motorcyclewould be the premier independent expert on these clubsand gangs.
Because of the authors curiosity and the right circumstances he happen to be a couple events that have shaped the effects and thepublic view of motorcycle clubs one of the being hollister.
Even though alot of this book deals with the clubs in Australia it covers a wide of area of info this author getting this info because a good relationship with the different clubs because he told it like it was the bond was a such they even gave the name of the mad professor. He covers many subjects like the process that one goes from being a club hang around to a full patch member. Explains the interest people have for the bikes and the lifestyle , how the clubs veiw eachother and sometimes the consolidation and thwe wars that happen between the clubs.Also the club structure and the responsibilites of the different officers,their views on drugs and of their dealings with the police.
He also helps to dispels alot of myths half-truths that are put out by the media the police and sometimes by the clubs themselves. Again a great book
