The last gang in town : the epic story of the police vs the Clark Park Gang / Aaron Chapman.

Summary:

"In 1972, after a number of headline-making riots and clashes with police―including an infamous altercation outside a Rolling Stones concert―the Clark Parkers became the target of a secret undercover police squad. Their hostile interactions culminated in a notorious police shooting, resulting in the death of a Clark Park gang member. Combining meticulous research with a keen flair for storytelling, The Last Gang in Town features previously unpublished photos and police documents, as well as testimonials by surviving gang members and police officers who speak for the first time on the subject. The book is a compelling portrait of early-1970s Vancouver and an intriguing and sensational history that puts the spotlight on the after-dark underbelly of the city's not-so-distant criminal past."-- Publisher's website.
