Reviews"Christie articulately defends his outlaw code, which he adhered to at great personal cost. Although he resigned from the Angels in 2010, his past, as he engagingly writes, continues to haunt him." -- Publishers Weekly
SynopsisI hadn't planned on writing a book when I quit the Hells Angels. After forty years in the Hells Angels, George Christie was ready to retire. As president of the high-profile Ventura charter of the club, he had been the yin to Sonny Barger's yang. Barger was the reckless figurehead and de facto world leader of the Hells Angels. Christie was the negotiator, the spokesman, the thinker, the guy who smoothed things out. He was the one who carried the Olympic torch and counted movie stars, artists, rock musicians, and police chief captains among his friends. But leaving the Hells Angels isn't easy, and within two weeks of retirement, he was told he was "out bad"--blackballed by his fellow Angels, prohibited from wearing the club patch, and even told he should remove his Death Head tattoo. Now Christie sets out to tell his story. Exile on Front Street is the tale of how a former Marine gave up a comfortable job with the Department of Defense and swore allegiance to the Hells Angels. In this revealing, hard-hitting memoir, he recounts his life as an outlaw biker with the world's most infamous motorcycle club.

"Modern Day Hero of High Integrity Rail-Roaded by Fake Brothers"
Great documentary with no names, but You can figure it out. George is a True American Hero, especially when Real Hero's are Far and In-between... Most of the 'pieces' are sort of revealed, ('no finger prints') illustrating One Man's interpretation on the "*Ventura/Los Angeles 81's" club History during a critical time of the overall Club's History. George is a True Stand Up Man of Integrity, Who is sharing His Heart's experiences over nearly 40 years. This book is an excellent 'READ" and Highly Recommended from this Reader! I do hope that it becomes a screen-play to Movie soon!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

good easy reading
As is usual with autobiographies, the reader must consider that they are getting what may or may not be an honest and accurate perspective. However, as a reader with a passive interest in this life style, I found the book to be very interesting.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Exiled
Great book excellent writing and story. George Christie did a great job as Pres.went above and beyond the call of brotherhood. Due to this book I have lost a great deal of respect for Sonny Barger.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Recommended.
Inside look at the notorious Hells Angels from a man who knows more than he tells. Entertaining and an easy read, although not as revealing as it most certainly could have been.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Surprising...
I was surprised that George included as much as he did about life in the HAMC as he did. I know he's had it tough with his former brothers, but he's held his own and this book proves he's not backing down. Its an easy read and enough intrigue to keep you turning pages.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
