Jersey Tough: My Wild Ride from Outlaw Biker to Undercover Cop

Description

In 1977, Wayne 'Big Chuck' Bradshaw was a member of the outlaw Pagans bike gang and had earned his colours in a world of boozing, bloody bar fights and high-stakes crime. But after getting too close to extreme violence, Bradshaw made the life-threatening decision to change his path. His toughness led to a heroic career as an undercover narcotics officer for the same New Jersey police department that had once arrested him. In Jersey Tough, Bradshaw tells his story with the truth of the streets.

Love is a writer, editor and publicist who lives on Long Island, New York. Renzo Gracie is a world-famous and championship-winning MMA fighter and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

"As a former sergeant-at-arms in one of the other 'Big Four' motorcycle clubs, I can confirm the authenticity of the biker tales graphically revealed on these pages. Exposing his courage as well as frailties, Big Chuck bares all with surprising candor." -- Glen Heggstad, author of Two Wheels Through Terror "Bradshaw delivers both unflinching honesty and gritty, raw action in this fast-moving thriller." -- Joe Pistone a.k.a. Donnie Brasco "This brilliantly written memoir is as intense as a ride on the back of a Harley. It's gritty, it's emotional, it's terrifying ... and it's all true." -- Amie's Book Reviews Blog "This fascinating book is true-crime writing at its best and will appeal to anyone interested in the sordid dealings of America's criminal underworlds." -- Publishers Weekly "This is a man who has been through quite a bit in his lifetime ... But this isn't a story that makes us feel sorry for his experiences and tough life. Rather, it shows a great way to look at life's challenges and meet them with integrity ... This book was as enlightening as it was fascinating." -- Behind Blue Eyes
