 It's an old class lecture with a book cover on it. November 27, 1998
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
I liked the book.I especially like that it was put together as an instrutor's lecture outline first then a cover was slapped on it to make it a book.But my advise to anyone who is even concidering investigating a motorcycle club or gang is to leave it to the professionals.Do not buy this book,read the investigation techniques in the back,get"hip" on some terminology used,buy some leathers and think they won't figure you out.They will,and you my friend,are in some deep do-do.One more thing,there are more than six outlaw bike clubs in Illinois,try around sixty,and it didn't even mention a well established Hell's Angles in Chicago.So if it's off that much just think how bad you can get hurt if you use the book as a tool.I do think that the book is great for anyone interested in outlaw bike groups and would like to have some feel for what their about but used any further than that would most likely be a big "no-no".
 Pretentious, Outdated, A one-sided view of Outlaw M/C's November 25, 1998
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
Class: Semi-FictionThis book is a posthumorous look at M/C's written from an (LEO type)perspective. The book is used as a training tool for law enforcement types (especially those in Rural Departments with low training budgets). The book perpetutates rumors and myths associated with M/C clubs. The material presented is: Extremely Outdated Highly Circumstantial Unsubstantiated by fact Clearly One-sided If you live the M/C lifestyle or just want to read a fairly good piece of sensationalized fiction, you will enjoy the humor and laugh out loud at the some of the most preposterous suppositions ever concocted about the M/C Lifestyle. I would recommend that if you want an educated, documented and real world look at the M/C lifestyle you read --- The Rebels : A Brotherhood of Outlaw Bikers; Daniel R. Wolf Daniel R. Wolf is a social anthropologist that has applied the rigors of research to bring about a truer represention of the 1 percent side of the M/C community. Daniel Wolf lived the lifestyle, survived the discrimination, and went on to write a relatively accurate portrayal of a "1 percent" M/C. The Rebels is a great book on the 1 Percent M/C topic.
An informative look at biker terminology and lifestyle. September 14, 1998
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This 43 page publication provides a good look at the terminology and lifestyle of outlaw motorcycle gangs. The book appears to be a training manual used to train law enforcement personnel, and it even includes a chapter at the end of the text on "investigative techniques." Other chapters include organizational structure of outlaw motorcycle gangs, their basic philosophies, money-making endeavors, their intelligence network, and even a chapter on the renowned "motorcycle mama." Not too much action in this text, but it definitely provides some good insight into the world of the hardcore biker.
 true for 98% July 7, 1998

The book is obviously a real insight into the MCs and gangs of the late 20th century. I am the president of the HAMCI or the Hells Angels MC International chapter, & we steer clear of all politics within the so called ''official'' chapters. You'd better have a closer look around the globe my freinds. We are 34 years old, and are never in one place, or country for too long. we do not have any truck with the killings & stupid 'wars' of most modern 1%er clubs, and we have our own, but more original attitude to anyone we meet. freedom, Fun, Bikes and chicks. RIDE ON
