The further adventures of "Dr. Gonzo" as he defends the "cucarachas" - the Chicanos of East Los Angeles.
Before his mysterious disappearance and probable death in 1971, Oscar Zeta Acosta was famous as a Robin Hood Chicano lawyer and notorious as the real-life model for Hunter S. Thompson's "Dr. Gonzo" a fat, pugnacious attorney with a gargantuan appetite for food, drugs, and life on the edge.
In this exhilarating sequel to The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, Acosta takes us behind the front lines of the militant Chicano movement of the late '60s and early '70s, a movement he served both in the courtroom and on the barricades. Here are the brazen games of "chicken" Acosta played against the Anglo legal establishment; battles fought with bombs as well as writs; and a reluctant hero who faces danger not only from the police but from the vatos locos he champions. What emerges is at once an important political document of a genuine popular uprising and a revealing, hilarious, and moving personal saga.

If you want a true insider view to the Chicano rights/civil rights movement Without the empty rhetoric and without an outsider's point of view... Read this book. Oscar Zeta Acosta led a fascinating life as a civil and Chicano rights lawyer. He immersed himself in the madness of of the Chicano blowouts / ran for sheriff of LA county and just the madness that was this time frame... get this book. The man partied more than the people he defended! This book was NOT written by any Hispanic but by a Chicano!! you wanna know the difference...you know what to do!
