Thompson's \"Dr. Gonzo\" a fat, pugnacious attorney with a gargantuan appetite for food, drugs, and life on the edge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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 sixties and early seventies, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oscar Zeta Acosta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.28w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679722120","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43834473054345,"sku":"9780679722120","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f9ceebcc-054d-4d83-af2a-785ea15f18bd.jpg?v=1743487891","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-revolt-of-the-cockroach-people-9780679722120","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
