This book documents the history and criminal activities of the Hell's Angels, the largest and best organized motorcycle gang in North America.
Abstract
The introductory chapter outlines the history of the Hell's Angels, ways in which the club makes money, and its involvement with the mafia. Hell's Angels are involved in drug trafficking, prostitution, corruption, and other types of organized crime. The book describes three other motorcycle clubs that compete with Hell's Angels for drug trafficking territory: the Pagans, the Bandidos, and the Outlaws. All have international chapters, with the exception of the Pagans. Another chapter discusses the club's intelligence and security operations.
