The Hell's Angels leader, Sonny Barger, is toasted as an American
legend, and the bikers work hard to promote their folk-hero image.
But the facts tell another story. The Hell's Angels are America's
major crime export. Their membership has spread to 25 countries
including the UK, Australia and Holland, where they have inspired a
violent subculture of biker gangs who traffick drugs and suppress
any attempt to stop them. ANGELS OF DEATH opens at the darkest
moment of the Hell's Angels story, with the beheading of a woman at
a chapter meeting. It tells the true story of the bikers, their
crime empire and the attempt of the police to stop them - with only
a few successes. With eyewitness accounts from police officers who
have infiltrated the gangs and gang members who have turned
informers, and undercover interviews with the bikers themselves,
this is a chilling insight into the world's fastest growing crime
empire. N.B. Also includes exclusive material from the leaders of
the Hells Angels - Sonny Barger and George Christie - who have
agreed to be interviewed for the book.

Two of today's top investigative journalists discovered the reality
of the world's most foremost biker gang -- The Hells Angels. With
an estimated 2,500 members in 25 countries, the Hells Angels have
inspired a global subculture of violence and fear. Sher and Marsden
unflinching look at how law enforcement agencies worldwide are
trying to stop -- with little success -- the biker gangs from
spreading their violent outlaw creed around the world.
Marco Polo’s account of his journey throughout the East in the thirteenth century was one of the earliest European travel narratives, and it remains the most important. The merchant-traveler from Venice, the first to cross the entire continent of Asia, provided us with accurate descriptions of life in China, Tibet, India, and a hundred other lands, and recorded customs, natural history, strange sights, historical legends, and much more. From the dazzling courts of Kublai Khan to the perilous deserts of Persia, no book contains a richer magazine of marvels than the Travels.
This edition, selected and edited by the great scholar Manuel Komroff, also features the classic and stylistically brilliant Marsden translation, revised and corrected, as well as Komroff’s Introduction to the 1926 edition.
