From the Inside Flap
In 1998, William Queen was a veteran law enforcement agent with a lifelong love of motorcycles and a lack of patience with paperwork. When a "confidential informant" made contact with his boss at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, offering to take an agent inside the San Fernando chapter of the Mongols (the scourge of Southern California, and one of the most dangerous gangs in America), Queen jumped at the chance, not realizing that he was kicking-starting the most extensive undercover operation inside an outlaw motorcycle gang in the history of American law enforcement. Nor did Queen suspect that he would penetrate the gang so successfully that he would become a fully "patched-in" member, eventually rising through their ranks to the office of treasurer, where he had unprecedented access to evidence of their criminal activity. After Queen spent twenty-eight months as "Billy St. John," the bearded, beer-swilling, Harley-riding gang-banger, the truth of his identity became blurry, even to himself. During his initial "prospecting" phase, Queen was at the mercy of crank-fueled criminal psychopaths who sought to have him test his mettle and prove his fealty by any means necessary, from selling (and doing) drugs, to arms trafficking, stealing motorcycles, driving getaway cars, and, in one shocking instance, stitching up the face of a Mongol "ol' lady" after a particularly brutal beating at the hands of her boyfriend. Yet despite the constant criminality of the gang, for whom planning cop killings and gang rapes were business as usual, Queen also came to see the genuine camaraderie they shared. When his lengthy undercover work totally isolated Queen from family, hisfriends, and ATF colleagues, the Mongols felt like the only family he had left. "I had no doubt these guys genuinely loved Billy St. John and would have laid down their lives for him. But they wouldn't hesitate to murder Billy Queen." From Queen's first sleight of hand with a line of methamphetamine in front of him and a knife at his throat, to the fearsome face-off with their decades-old enemy, the Hell's Angels (a brawl that left three bikers dead), to the heartbreaking scene of a father ostracized at Parents' Night because his deranged-outlaw appearance precluded any interaction with regular citizens, "Under and Alone is a breathless, adrenaline-charged read that puts you on the street with some of the most dangerous men in America and with the law enforcement agents who risk everything to bring them in. "From the Hardcover edition.

The author of this book has nerves of steel. This is the riveting story of an undercover agent who risks his life not once, but every day, in an attempt to infiltrate the most dangerous motorcycle gang in the USA.This book is absolutely riveting and is extremely difficult to put down. The fact that the author is still alive, defies logic. The motorcycle gang members that he became a part of, tested him on a constant basis, so as to make sure that he wasn't an informant. How he managed to not get caught has as much to do with luck, as it does with skill. By all accounts, William Queen should be dead,Although his undercover work did result in the breakup of one of the worst motorcycle gangs in existence, it unfortunately also took a toll on his marriage and family. This guy stared death in the face every single day for a very long time, yet somehow survived.If you like suspenseful nonfiction, than this is the book for you. You'll find it hard to believe that Queen survived some of the no win situations that he found himself in. This is a 5 star thriller!
I recently watched the television movie about William Queen's story of his undercover life as Billy St. John, the member in good standing with the Mongol M.C.I bought the book to see if anything was better/worse than the TV movie and surprisingly, they are both terrific examples of the sordid yet loving atmosphere of the brotherhood. I recommend this book with 5 stars to anyone with the curiosity to learn how the true 1# lives their lives. It's gut-wrenching, ugly truths run side by side with the love these brothers have for one another and the struggle of Billy vs William and how it wrecked his true family at the same time wrecking his M.C. family. An honest,gritty view of the importance of the police force and the tough demands it makes of its best members.Read this. You won't be disappointed!
To start off with, people who rode in MC's or are a fan of the biker community are probably gonna call this guy a snitch or a rat ATF federally. Frankly I dont care I like this guy, he is telling it like it is. The stories he tells in this book are 100% accurate and can be confirmed. This reviewer lives in Ventura County, California where the Hells Angeles have done some long term damage to my town. Ventura County is mentioned often in this book, Southern California specially the Inland Empire has been the hub for such big name MC's such as the Vagos, the HA's and yes the Mongols. When Billy St. John as he called in this book infiltrated this organization he certainly did many So Cal residents a favor, as they were causing significant havoc in the region.If I'am not mistaken I saw a program on the National Geographic Channel with Bill Queen further going into detail as the events of this book. A lot of this material was used in Kerrie Droban's Vagos, Mongols, Outlaws and was also used in Gangland Undercover.As far as the book is concerned it is probably one of the most interesting pieces of literature I have read in the past decade. Which is saying much since this book is starting to become dated but will ultimately have some importance in the years to come as we as a nation face some challenges. Bill Queen has certainly led an amazing life serving this nation in Vietnam, the mid west apprehending white supremacist organizations. and even the Mongols MC. To be frank i'am surprised he missed the Waco incident. In this book he keeps the reader informed on the inner workings of the ATF Undercover department and the RICO stature. I dont want to spoil anymore please read this book and enjoy!
An absolute page-turner. This is a story of criminal motorcycle gangs and how they operate. It's no surprise that their members are mired in all kinds of criminal activity, ruthless, and capable of unspeakable acts. The surprising parts are the high degree of organization of the gangs (officers, by-laws, the whole bit), and the camaraderie and loyalty among gang members who otherwise aren't really nice people. Queen's ability not only to infiltrate one of these gangs, but to rise to a high level position, is more than impressive. He had to repeatedly find ways to avoid taking drugs and committing various crimes without arousing suspicion, maintain a charade in the face of a gang who was borderline paranoid about being infiltrated by cops, rely on the ATF to set up a fake identity that would fool the gang, and give up nearly all semblance of any normal life outside of his undercover assignment. Trust me, you will enjoy this story.
This is, I believe, the best book that I have read about outlaw motorcycle clubs, and I have read many. William Queen was an ATF agent who infiltrated the vicious Mongol Motorcycle Club by becoming a full-patched Mongol. This is no mean feat, as the book very carefully and accurately explains. No other book I have read does a comparable job to this book in taking the reader inside one of these clubs (and the Mongols are arguably the worst of the group) and showing what this strange world is really all about.The author reveals that the Mongol M/C is, or at least was in the early 2000s, at its heart a criminal enterprise. According to the author the Mongol life made an orderly work life unlikely, and only a few members of the authors' chapter held regular jobs. Barfights and drugs were the order of the day.Reading this book the reader gains an appreciation for the frightful strain that an undercover agent must undergo. The author was always in danger of summary execution by the Mongols, should they discover his activities. And the ATF itself appeared unappreciative of his sacrifices, as he became isolated from the internal politics of the ATF and perhaps largely forgotten by his peers.Overall, this one is well worth reading. RJB.
