Hells Angels
Journalist maverick rebel and author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" Hunter S. Thompson offers another novel of American counterculture in Hells Angels beautifully repackaged as part of the Penguin Essentials range. A phalanx of motorcycles came roaring over the hill from the west...the noise was like a landslide or a wing of bombers passing over. Even knowing the Angels I couldnt quite handle what I was seeing. It was like Genghis Khan Morgans Raiders the Wild One and the Rape of Nanking all at once. In September 1964 a cavalcade of motorbikes ripped through the city of Monterey California. It was a trip destined to make Hells Angels household names across America infamous for their violent drunken rampages and feared for the destruction left in their wake. Enter Hunter S.
Thompson the master of counter-culture journalism who alone had the ability and stature to ride with the Angels on their terms. In this brilliant and hair-raising expose he journeys with the last outlaws of the American frontier. A mixture of journalism story-telling and sheer bravado Hells Angels is Hunter S. Thompson at full throttle. "Excellent documentary non-fiction". ("Time Out"). "The maverick voice of American counterculture". ("Guardian"). "There are only two adjectives writers care about any more - "brilliant" and "outrageous" - and Hunter has a freehold on both of them". (Tom Wolfe). "The book that made Thompsons name". ("Loaded"). Hunter S. Thompson was born in Louisville Kentucky in 1937.
