Summary: |
It takes a special brando of cutthroats, thieves, and killers topick a fight that lasts for sixty years. In the 1950s, the upstart Hells Angels did just that. But the gang whose pride they insultd and whose dominance they threatened wasn't just any collection of thugs, it was the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. And Outlaws never forget. The Outlaws MC first got together inMcCook County, Illinois. Like most of the biker clubs who came after them, they were little more than a bunch of toughs with a passion of bikes and partying and not much else. But they ere the first of their kind, establishing themselves more than a decade before the infamous Hollister incident tht marked the beginning of the Hells Angels. And The Outlaws set the standards all biker gangs would strive for: toughest guys on their turf, no limits to what rules they would break to get what they wanted and too crazy to care about the consequences when they did. The gap between Illinois and the Angels California closed quickly, and the two gangs were soon on a collision course that would take them across the continental USA, Canada, Australia, Britain, and much of Europe. Their differences have never been resolved, and they might never be. With his unparalleled perspective on the global criminal underworld, former contracted agent and bestselling author Alex Caine introduces us to a new generations of organized criminals. For the moment they prop up the old gangs, but very soon they could realize they don't need bikers anymore, leaving the one percenter MCs undermanned, unsupported and a thing of the past. |
