Another part comes from rock solid facts. John Lee Brook has a sense of humor.

You know that from the way he spins the story. Witty, waggish, whimsical language expressed with tongue-in-cheek incredulity. There is no way that is true … is there? The Mad Hatter goosed up on meth. The Introduction sets the tone. The Introduction introduces an annotated history. A chronology of events, mishaps, and calamitous murders. Marshals — look good. They follow the rules and go by the book.

Which somehow seems backwards. The bad guys look baaaad. But in the end, the good guys win. On the way to prevailing, the good guys put together the biggest indictment ever. Then the good guys begin rounding up the bad guys. The bad guys are in prisons all over the U. So the Department of Justice dispatches Con-Air, which really exists. Con-Air picks the bad guys up and flies them to L.
Once in the City of Angels, the bad guys are housed in different jails, awaiting trial.
Forty bad guys go on trial in Los Angeles. When the trials begin, assorted snitches, defectors, and informants come out of the proverbial woodwork. Meanwhile, a bunch of steroid abusing skinheads called Nazi Low Riders decide to start their own business. A superlab capable of producing mass quantities of methamphetamines. Nazi Low Riders believe in free enterprise. But the NLR dudes have a problem: So they turn to the Aryan Brotherhood for a small business loan. And pretty soon, business is booming. Gun trafficking for Mexican drug cartels.
Through the miracle of time - what originates as a group of white convicts seeking protection from minority gangs transforms into a powerful crime syndicate of ruthless thugs crazy enough to scare the hell out of the most dangerous of criminals. With notorious shotcallers leaders Barry "the Baron" Mills and Tyler "the Hulk" Bingham commanding a whole army of skinhead-like gangbangers, the Aryan Brotherhood was successful in building an empire from behind bars in America's most secure maximum-security prisons.

John Lee Brooks' "Blood In, Blood Out" works by giving us multiple stories of their business dealings, killings sometimes horrific, such as Pamela Fleck murder or the torture of Adrian Rooms , and their backrounds before they became "Branded". It's divided in to two parts: Marshals round up the charged one-by-one mainly in their prison cells. The government's plan is to cut off the head of the snake: This is enjoyable as you see Uncle Sam drag a bunch of scummy convict snitches to the witness stand to testify against their former brethren in attempts to lighten their current sentences.
Part two has 4 chapters of murder, mayhem and TCB takin' care of business. With the help of the Nazi LowRiders, a younger ultraviolent white-supremicist style gang - the Brand ventures into gun trafficking for Mexican drug cartels to owning car dealerships and motorcycle shops in multiple states. But its the crystal meth operations that remains their true bread-and-butter.
Definately recommended for gangster and gang true-crime junkies but I think its just the beginning. Brooks is certainly a talented author and does what he can for the lightest possible read on a heavy, secretive criminal society. Michael Thompson, an Aryan Brother-turned-snitch featured on the National Geographic documentary that came out several years ago - wasn't mentioned. Neither was Casper Odinson Crowell. I forsee in the future more books on these guys and the Lowriders to come that well go even deeper. Nonetheless "Blood In, Blood Out" is awesome. When a nonfiction author has characters with nicknames like the Hulk, the Baron and Terrible Tom, how can he miss?
But John Lee Brook that has to be a nom de plume, eh? He's sitting dead red in the center of the bloody bull's eye here, offering a work that blends true crime with sociological study, business strategy review, psychotherapy, legal thriller, snappy dialogue and outrageous action sequences to make your hair stand on end.
That's life inside the prison system where the AB has been a fundamental piece of the organizational hierarchy for several decades. Brook shares what he has learned about how its leaders reached that pinnacle, maintained control and turned their power into a black market business so prosperous they had to store their cash in a warehouse. But Brook adds some apparent AB insider interviews to his roundup of available data to assemble the full story and craft the most readable detailed expose yet of the whole sorry history of the Brotherhood.
All three are prime examples of gangland storytelling at their finest with the academic touch left in the dust. Anyone fearful that Brook has glamorized the AB with this book can rest easy. For the rest of us, however, what emerges is a sad depiction of the fate that awaits life's losers.
One telling moment, for example, involves Brook's contrast of the demeanors of Hulk and the Baron with that of the solid citizens deliberating their death penalty case as jurors. Crime did not pay. I have to say this is the most inaccurate piece of garbage that I have ever read. I know Barry Mills the Baron. I know Terrible Tom and TD and most of the other characters in this book.
How do I know them? I spent time with many of the characters in this book in other prisons across the country. I really don't think this writer ever met anyone in the AB or he would have shown part of their human side. The writer also has some very inaccurate information about dates and the way many of the crimes came down. I was there for some of the crimes that he writes about and it is a joke to read what this writer says about them.
I think he did a very bad goggle job on this book. Yes, I might have been a gang member convicted of Bank Robbery and murder but, I have gotten out and organized large gang treaties and work today to end gang warfare.
