Hell's Angels: Into the Abyss – The True Story of the Only FBI Informant to Infiltrate a Deadly Organized Crime Syndicate

Was a really good look into the hells angels mc. Although Anthony Tait is in reality a total tool. The book was well worth the read and enjoyable

It's tough to get through this book, not just for its marginal writing, but also because the over-the-top detail seems misplaced. In the middle of what I *think* is a chronological story, why do I need to know that the Rochester chapter president reported at some East Coast Officers Meeting that one of their members had a drug bust and got 30 days?As I was reading it I was surprised at what I was reading, not because anything there was shocking (I have read just about every book on this subject), but because I was having a hard time understanding the point!As to Tait being a rat, and that for this reason we should not read this book, normally I would dismiss that as somewhat silly reasoning. But unlike others that have been inside an OMG and written about it, Tait really WAS a rat, in that he was just an egomaniac wannabe that turned on his brothers. At least George Wethern ("A Wayward Angel") was an upright HAMC member before situations created mostly by his MC brothers put him into a corner. Tait has no excuse at all.Another so-called "rat" (against Mongols) was Billy Queen ("Under and Alone"), but he was in law enforcement. Same with Jay Dobyns ("Angels of Death"). Those guys are playing their game the same way those on the other side play theirs.As for Tait, I guess I like to curb crime too, but Tait set a few too many people up for my taste. I have a bit of a hard time swallowing Lavigne's hero worship of this character. Bottom line - the book is quite complete, but be prepared for it to leave a bad taste in your mouth.If you are into this stuff, I do suggest "Under and Alone" (William Queen), "Hells Angels" (Hunter S. Thompson) and "Hells Angel" (Sonny Barger). Those books are educational while still being balanced and fun to read.

Very good book just not sure if the snitch was all that good of a guy himselfMade it hard to like him

Always try to find something to keep him busy, problem is he keeps telling me about the stories he reads! Not part of the plan but he enjoys it.MsStretch

arrived exactly as described will definitely by from this seller again

not well written, though a terrifying story

My Husband loves MC books. I got him this one and he was pleased. He likes this one and the one called Hell's Angels. I would recommend!

Just another ......I wasn't me guv sort of book. Everyone was there but nobody saw anything. Could have been written just using Newspaper/TV clips.

a good read all in all, but needing editing : as my review title says, it's a bit repetitive.

Great book

very good
