Gonzo journalist and literary roustabout Hunter S. Thompson flies with the angels -- Hells Angels, that is.  He's lives with them, he knows them and their machines, he speaks their language, and he reports back to the world with all the fearsome force of a souped-up cyclone burning rubber.   Widely lauded for its up-close and uncompromising look at the Hells Angels motorcycle club, during a time when the gang was highly feared and accused of numerous criminal activities.  The New York Times described Thompson's portrayal as "a world most of us would never dare encounter."   A wild adventure that reads like a novel.  Insured post.
