Helpful Score: 3

THIS BOOK IS A FACINATING STORY ABOUT ONE OF THE TOUGHEST HELLS ANGELS OF ALL TIME. A SLIGHT MAN ABOUT 170 LBS AND MAYBE 5-11 HE STARTED OUT AS A BOUNCER IN AN ALASKAN NIGHTCLUB. HE WAS A MARTIAL ARTS EXPERT AND KNEW 2 OR 3 DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES, AS WELL AS PLAIN OLD STREET FIGHTING. THIS LEAD TO THE LOCAL H.A. CHAPTER WANTING TO RECRUIT HIM. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THEY JUST LET HIM HANDLE 2 OR 3 GUYS OR EVEN MORE WHILE THEY RELAXED AND KNEW THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN CAPABLE HANDS.
NOW WHETHER HE INTENDED TO BE A SNITCH OR IT JUST HAPPENED IS UP TO THE READER, HE CLAIMS HE WAS DOING HIS BIT TO CURB THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH BIKER GANGS. HE ROSE THROUGH THE RANKS AND GOT SONNY BARGER HIS FIRST REAL CONVICTION AT THE COLORADO PENITENTIARY AND GOT SOME OF HIS CLOSEST FREINDS IN THE OAKLAND CHAPTER CONVICTED ALSO.
I THINK A MOVIE ABOUT THE LIFE OF ANTHONY TAIT WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING THAN THIS STORY. NEVER-THE-LESS THIS BOOK IS HARD TO PUT DOWN ONCE YOU START READING IT AND IS ACTION PACKED FROM COVER TO COVER, ONLY THING IS; ITS ALL TRUE.
