On the morning of April 8, 2006, residents of the hamlet of Shedden, Ontario, woke up to the news that the bloodied bodies of eight bikers from the Bandidos gang had been found dead on a local farm. The massacre made headlines around the world, and the shocking news brought a grim light to an otherwise quiet corner of the province. Six Bandidos would eventually be convicted of the first-degree murder of their biker brothers.

Like other outlaw bikers, Bandidos portray themselves as motorcycle enthusiasts who are systematically misunderstood and abused by the police, as well as feared by the public. We now know the Bandidos were anything but simple motorcycle enthusiasts. However, unlike such biker gangs as the Hell's Angels, who run sophisticated operations, the Bandidos were highly disorganized, prone to petty infighting and even engaged in sabotaging fellow members. This is the story of how the Bandidos self-destructed over one dark night.

As gripping as any crime novel, The Bandido Massacre takes us inside a crumbling brotherhood bent on betrayal and self-obliteration.

Excellent telling of a truly bizarre crime!

May 9, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Writing a good true-crime book is no easy task. Aside from needing to present the facts of the case in an objective and complete manner (a task that too many authors fail at), it's essential that the author capture the reality of who the characters are, not just what they did. Further, the author has to capture the truth of the players, not just a fantasy projection on the author's part. The author of "Bandido Massacre..." has done all that, and more. As a law enforcement administrator in New Mexico, I knew and frequently had contact with area Bandidos. I've no doubt that their view of the Canadians in this book would have mirrored the reaction of the Bandidos in Texas; one of disbelief, anger and disgust. The events and actions of the players in the Canadian fiasco would have been comical, were they not so deadly.

I found it to be a thoroughly engrossing read.

Excellent book that details the Canadian Biker War between Clubs

August 4, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This makes about the 32nd Outlaw Motorcycle book I've read and it brought into clarity the "players" and who they were. In my other books it spoke of the Canadian Biker Gang wars and it briefly gave the names but did not go into any great detail like this book did. Once I was done with the book I just said "Wow"

Very slow, some of the “facts” contradict other accounts. It dragged on longer than necessary on some scenes and narration.
