[Starry · Rating 2 out of 5]

Having listened to a podcast featuring the author speaking about this topic I was really interested in, and then very disappointed by, this book. A rambling catapult of a thing yoyo-ing back and forth in time, skimming over some of the best and most interesting events relating to the crimes and wars of outlaw motor cycle gangs in Australia (and their related clubs around the world)
