ISBN: 0-915745-29-1
This is the most complete biography of the late civil rights Chicano leader who led the aspirations of the Mexican American people through the courts and the media to expose racial discrimination, police abuse, and the daily trespasses of the inalienable rights of poor people in the barrios. Oscar Zeta Acosta, alias the Brown Buffalo, made history in the awakening of the Chicano movement in Los Angeles and served as a catalyst for change and hope for the community. The book is well researched and the author interviewed many of the participants in the events of the late 60's as well as as his successful fight to change the Catholic Church.
