Description

Formed in 1935, the McCook Outlaws Motorcycle Club defined the look and lifestyle of the 20th century biker. In the 1950s, a rising gang of tough guys in California threatened to steal their thunder. But, recognising an opportunity for expansion, the Outlaws reached out. The nascent Angels sent them home to Chicago, beaten and forever bent on the Angels destruction. Working undercover, Alex Caine witnessed the buffering of the big clubs US turfs in a Bandidos-mediated truce between the Outlaws and the Angels in the 1980s. But the deal has soured - and a storm of violence is brewing

Reviews

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

It is rare for someone to infiltrate this mysterious, often romanticized world, and live to tell about it. That alone makes the book well worth reading.
Canadian Lawyer

Charlie and the Angels is an interesting and detailed look into the history of these two gangs, and a rivalry that dates back over 60 years. [Caine] offers a comprehensive overview of the violent biker brotherhood subculture.
