Outlaws: The Truth About Australian Bikers - Adam Shand

Journalist Adam Shand digs into the real machinery behind Australia’s outlaw motorcycle clubs, cutting through the chrome-plated myth to expose how groups like the Comanchero Motorcycle Club, Bandidos Motorcycle Club, and Rebels Motorcycle Club built influence across the country. Drawing on police intelligence, insider accounts, and years of reporting, Shand maps the codes, rivalries, and shifting alliances that keep the scene in constant motion.

The book circles pivotal flashpoints like the Milperra Massacre, where tensions erupted into open warfare, showing how reputation, territory, and ego can ignite fast and burn long. It’s a grounded, investigative look at a world where loyalty is currency, power is negotiated in shadows, and the distance between legend and reality is a lot shorter, and sharper, than it first appears. 

Some wear to the covers.
