Summary

Everyone's heard of the Hell's Angels but the Outlaws Motorcycle Club is a band of brothers like no other. Hidden away from mainstream society behind multiple layers of secrecy, mythology and a campaign of misinformation that portrays them as lovable rogues, the day-to-day realities of life within this world have been kept out of the public arena. Until now. Outlaws strips away the romantic myths surrounding biker gangs to reveal 25 years of mass brawls, brutal murders and huge drug busts spanning Australia, the UK, Europe, America and Canada.
