From the Jaws of Victory - by Matthew Garcia (Paperback)

From the Jaws of Victory is a comprehensive history of the United Farm Workers, offering an in-depth look at the meteoric rise and tragic fall of Cesar Chavez and his union.

Based on never-before-seen sources and one-of-a-kind oral histories, this book provides a gripping account of the expansion of the grape boycott and how it drove growers to sign labor contracts in 1970.

With new perspectives on Chavez's attitudes and beliefs, as well as in-depth studies of other leaders in the UFW, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the farm worker movement.
