If a writer interacted with the Hell’s Angels, I thought that would make this book would be an interesting read, but because Hell’s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga is written by Hunter S. Thompson, an unreliable, chemically altered writer who really decided to do a metacriticism of journalism, image versus reality, then is internally conflicted by his absolution of the Hell’s Angels because he really thinks that essentially the jump to judgment against them is justified, but the details are just wrong, it is ultimately unsatisfying and poorly organized. The last section of the book is the best, in particular his sober (literally & metaphorically) analysis of the Hell’s Angels as harbingers of a growing demographic in the US.
