Blood Oath: A History of the Aryan Brotherhood from Solitary Cells to Criminal Empire

From solitary confinement to national syndicate-this is the untold story of America's most feared prison gang.
Born in the brutal corridors of 1960s California prisons, the Aryan Brotherhood carved its legacy in blood. What began as a white supremacist brotherhood behind bars evolved into a sophisticated, multi-state criminal empire-fueling drug trafficking, contract killings, extortion, and racial violence from coast to coast.
Blood Oath exposes the raw, researched truth behind the myths. Through firsthand accounts, court transcripts, federal investigations, and chilling profiles of key figures, author Austin K. Starr reveals the inner workings of a gang that defied the system-and in many ways, mastered it.
This gripping nonfiction chronicle traces:
The Brotherhood's violent rise in California penitentiaries
Its deadly alliances with the Mexican Mafia and outlaw biker clubs
The role of RICO, informants, and FBI crackdowns in the 2000s
The gang's modern-day evolution into a fragmented but dangerous national presence
Ruthless. Relentless. Still operating in the shadows.

If you're drawn to true crime, organized gangs, prison power structures, and the darker corners of American justice-Blood Oath is a must-read.
