Summary: "Brilliantly constructed and extremely facinating.
Comment: The result is a terrific and important book... It's important because it is history and the author was there on the front lines making this history with his people. I have read almost every book on the Chicano Movement, and this is the best ever written. Every middle school , high school, and university should have this book in their history department if one is to understand what the Chicano people had to endure

Summary: A crucial view of Vigil's genius and his writing of region.
Comment: Like Rudolfo "Corky" Gonzalez himself, Ernesto B. Vigil takes his fight back to the street, and this time as historian and reveals the strengths and the criticisms, of the Chicano movement in 1960s Denver. Revealing the intolerance and the brutality for all to see this definitive period of Chicano history, its fascinating text like a hypertext to the streets of Denver, and the backrooms of the "Crusade for Justice" remained unknown to researchers partly because it had not been identified, but also because the interior covert nature of the urban Chicano organization made it almost impossible to enter from the outside. But Vigil's biography is as powerful as a right-cross to the glass-chin of America. Significant not simply for what the "Crusade" was but for what it has to say about the sucker punches thrown by the "Government's War on Dissent." With the sting of smelling salts, and the knowledge there is an opponent that needs to be identified, Vigil's lends clarity to a culture of competition. The cut man will be kept busy for many more rounds but there is no doubt that this is the definitive biography which historians and participants will turn to and that students will finally be able to resource for knowledge and understanding. For many years this hidden fragment of history lay buried now Ernesto Vigil's "The Crusade for Justice: Chicano Militancy and the Government's War on Dissent" allows the reader to cross to the other side of experience and examine the corners and cracks of America. A brilliant historian of two nations, Vigil's work opens a fresh chapter to a time period too long buried.- -Michael Evans-Smith
