A thoughtful and historically insightful book... the Young Lords challenged the system as no one else has done before them.... Their philosophy served as an inspiration for many of us. - Representative Jose Serrano (Democrat, New York); """"This account of the formation of the Young Lords is fascinating.... The] account grows as one reads until one is experiencing elements of the epic, the surprising, and the tragic. The book will also have its considerable impact on anyone who is interested in the history of New York during that great period of ferment we call the Sixties."""" - Norman Mailer
