{"product_id":"the-revolt-of-the-cockroach-people","title":"The Revolt of the Cockroach People","description":"The further adventures of “Dr. Gonzo” as he defends the “cucarachas”— the Chicanos of East Los Angeles.\n\nOne of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years\n\nBefore 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.\n\nIn 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\u003eASIN: 0679722122\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0679722122.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Oscar Zeta Acosta|Hunter S.
