The Brotherhoods: Inside the Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs
Well researched, gives alot of referrence, but I think it could be written with more conviction of the Author's beliefs especially as he is renouned for his work with Biker Groups.
But still a good enlightening read.

Professor Veno has done what most scholars could not do in their life time. He has earned the trust of the motorcycle community. In this book, Arthur tell the story if tring to get the Police to listen and understand the way our comminity thinks. As he call it, our sub-culture is foreign to most people. To have the Bikies accept him and talk about the inter- workings of this life style tell me that he is a good man.
This is good History for the world Down Under.

The author is very knowledgeable, but he writes like an apologist for OMG's or Bikies as he calls them in Australia. The majority of his arguments defending the bikers is based on statements from the members in the club, so people who live on the fringes and flaunt the law are given instant credibility by him. Reads like a textbook, but not an informative one. His bias shows through and through, a little more objectivity would not hurt his subsequent book.

This book is one of the few that I have read that didn't have the sensationalistic jargon attached to it that so many other's of it's type often do. It was just a good, solid and informative read. Although I feel that the author defenitely has/had an agenda, it was, in my opinion still a well written tome. It was also refreshing to get the view from the other side. If you are interested in the outlaw motorcycle culture at all, I think it is a must read.

I found this book first-rate. It was exciting from cover to cover. Arthur Veno, takes you through the lives of Outlaw Bikers or bikies as he refers to them. Some of the customs he speaks about made my jaw drop. I was sorry to see the book end. If you love reading about the biker culture, this is the book for you.
