"Ruben Salazar, who never sought martyrdom and who was appalled by hero worship, was a hero nonetheless, and the first great Mexican-American reporter of the Chicano political and social movement of the 60's and 70's. Salazar is a precursor of the emerging bomb in Latin American journalism embodied by Ruben Martinez and Richard Rodriguez, among many others. . . . The manuscript is fresh and speaks to our time. He had a dispassionate eye. No airs at all. He wanted to be more than a professional journalist, he wanted to remain a Latino."--Victor Perera, author of Unfinished Conquest
