“Under and Alone: The True Story of the Undercover Agent Who Infiltrated America’s Most Violent Outlaw Motorcycle Gang”

“So this dude basically goes undercover to bust some bad bad folks in a motorcycle club. But then he ends up getting a little deeper in than he really planned.

It’s a quick read, and if you know nothing about motorcycle clubs, it’s not a bad place to start. You’ll end up learning a lot about this subculture that is still running strong today, and in Colorado no less. That’s the good stuff.

The bad stuff is that the book tends towards the real-crime genre in that it tries to horrify you with the different shit that goes down in the MC. And here’s the other thing: The guy goes undercover, and as happens in classic undercover stories, finds himself somewhat hesitant to actually bust some of these dudes. I understand what he’s saying at times, but mostly he tells about one guy or another busting open a woman’s face stabbing an innocent dude, beating the living hell out of somebody, or completely not giving a damn that it’s his son’s birthday. So I guess the part where I’m supposed to feel bad falls a little flat.”
