About this listen
Wearing the colour red, living by the 'law of lawlessness' and having the patch with the emblem of the mighty bulldog on your back was what ex-Mongrel Mob leader Tuhoe 'Bruno' Isaac called being True Red. "Because all levels of society hated us we created a new society of hatred symbolised by the bulldog. Its ferocious habits were engraved on our hearts", Tuhoe says, "If you weren't a mobster you weren't worth knowing." He lived this way for 17 years.
However, constantly living for the bash, beer, prison and the possibility of dying in a pool of blood eventually saw Tuhoe search for another way of doing life. Leaving the Mob was hard. Not only did he face the rejection of his own and the fierce judgemental prejudices of mainstream society, but with the awakening of his conscience came the realisation of a past filled with inflicting pain on others besides himself, and of a life devoid of any sense of love or hope. This led him down a path of confession, forgiveness and reconciliation.
True Red is the essential biography of one man's fascinating journey from the realm of darkness into the world of light.

This book highlights the impact of substance abuse, sexual abuse, violence & oppression. While it’s sad, it exposes ugly truths that shouldn’t be ignored.
I’m glad he’s found god - and I truly hope this book helps anyone who needs to know there is ‘a way out’. The content in this book is not for everyone.
I wish Tuhoe the best as he transforms his life & helps others, and I look forward to the day when all children are safe and protected from abusers, & sexual predators.

I won’t lie, this isn’t a professional audio book with a monotone to listen to, BUT you’re listening to someone’s real story, raw emotions and the reality of Mongrel Mob life.
I highly recommend this book if you want to hear some confrontational truths about the Mongrel life.
We spend so much time listening to the stories written and read about mob life in the US and Canada that we forget this can happen close to home.
