About this deal

He is the author of a number of books, including Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, The Great Shark Hunt, Generation of Swine, The Curse of Lono, Songs of the Doomed, Better Than Sex, The Proud Highway and The Rum Diary.

Thompson was upfront with the Angels about his role as a journalist, a dangerous move given their marked distrust of reporters from what the club considered to be bad press.

like Genghis Khan on an iron horse, a monster steed with a fiery anus, flat out through the eye of a beer can and up your daughter's leg with no quarter asked and none given; show the squares some class, give em a whiff of those kicks they'll never know . Class society is simultaneously rendered universal in the Skinhead series, and explained away through metaphors of inheritance and genetics. We didn't make it till about three because we had to wait in a gas station on 101 for some of the guys running late.

As you can see from the bibliography on that article above - the vast majority of books are from the other side of the fence, regarding the club's more nefarious activities.Thompson was introduced to the gang by Birney Jarvis, a former club member and then police-beat reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. He continued being fond of Barger, writing in his 1971 book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: "Sonny Barger never quite got the hang of it, but he’ll never know how close he was to a king-hell breakthrough.

Any dissenters in the ranks are handled quietly at the regular Friday-night meetings, or they simply fade out of the picture and change their life pattern so as never again to cross paths with any group of Angels.This is the same format and pubication date as the first edition, in the original black cloth with red spine title and silver motorcyclist design on front cover with second printing on colophon page. That statement pretty much sums up the life and times of Sonny Barger, former founding member of the infamous Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang.
