- Dr Hunter S. Thompson
The nation answered this question when they offered Hunter the opportunity to write about The Hell’s Angels in 1965. Thompson got several book offers after the initial article, when he went undercover with the notorious motorcycle gang of California.
With Hell’s Angels, Thompson invented Gonzo Journalism (where the writer immerses himself into his subject matter- to where he becomes the central figure of the story.) The book covers the writer’s initiation into the gang, his education of biking culture, building custom hogs, the hierarchy of the gang and their mamas, their drugs and their homemade wine.
No substance and vice was left untouched by Thompson as he delved headfirst into what it is to live the life of a Hell’s Angel. The book only ends when Thompson takes a serious ass kicking from a few of the gang members (and is all too happy they let him live to write about it.)
