SynopsisFor serious motorcyclists, riding is a hobby as well as a way of life, and the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, is the ultimate destination. The Sturgis rally, which draws half a mill, Marc Gallicchio expertly examines the diplomatic, military, and economic struggles in which the United States, China, and the Soviet Union were pitted in the immediate aftermath of victory over Japan. The Allied victory was but a prelude to an American search for a lasting peace across Asia, stretching from Korea to Vietnam and out to the Pacific atolls., For serious motorcyclists, riding is a hobby as well as a way of life, and the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, is the ultimate destination. The Sturgis rally, which draws half a million participants a year, is as much about the journey as the destination. Author Jim Casey starts out with a comprehensive history of American bikers from Marlon Brando to the Hell's Angels, then traces the evolution of the rally, its Harley-Davidson connection, and its unique cultural contribution to the lore of the American road. With more than 50 full-color photos, this book will appeal to both armchair adventurers and real-life bikers.
