I have the book and have read most of it. The main story it highlights is how the ATF created a biker club to do business with the Angels chapters in Arizona and it details the investigation, arrests, and so forth. It also tells about the rise of Angel chapters in England, Australia, and the Netherlands. It's a good book but like all I think you have to take the info with a grain of salt. I have read several books on the Hells Angels and despite the claims it seems like law enforcement has never made a dent on the organization. They hit em hard and then they come back even stronger. I have read about raids government agencies have made where they arrest dozens of people and seize hundreds of weapons and then a majority of the guns, weapons, etc. are returned because they are all properly registered and 100% legal. Some people have guns that have been seized and returned multiple times. The book is a great read though if you like true crime books. One allegation in the book that I don't think they were ever formally charged with was that Angels were buying weed in South Africa for $40 a pound and smuggling it into Great Britain for resale at $3,000 a pound.
