Sal Si Puedes (Escape If You Can) Paperback - 2000 - 1st Edition

by Peter Matthiessen


First line

ONE Sunday of August 1968, I knocked on the door of a small frame house on Kensington Street in Delano, California.

From the jacket flap

"Reading this book becomes an act of self-confrontation, for Peter Matthiessen has made it clear that Cesar Chavez's battle is not only for the agricultural workers but for the redemption of the country. In illuminating the intactness of this one man, Matthiessen provides a measure for the rest of us."Nat Hentoff"
