Hell's Angel
By Sonny Barger
Archival Summary & Scope
The only authorized, authentic memoir by Hell's Angels founding member Sonny Barger, *Hell's Angel* chronicles the origins and rise of the iconic motorcycle club. Barger recounts how he formed the Oakland chapter in the late 1950s with a group of social outcasts, united by Harley-Davidsons and the open road. This raw, firsthand account delves into the club's rigid code, fierce loyalty, brutal betrayals, and their clashes with the law. It offers an insider's look at the fight for personal freedom that defined a generation and transformed the Hell's Angels into a symbol of American rebellion and counterculture history.Archival Categorization Notes
