Tracking King Tiger - Reies Lopez Tijerina and the Fbi

Reies López Tijerina, one of the Four Horsemen of the Chicano Movement, led the land grant struggle by Hispanos in the 1960s to recover the lands granted to their ancestors. In his struggle, Tijerina became the target of local and state law enforcement officials in New Mexico and the FBI nationwide. José Angel Gutiérrez meticulously examines thousands of pages of FBI documents and other written accounts targeting Tijerina and the Alianza Federal de Pueblos Libres. Threaded through the volume are glimpses into the special personal relationship between Tijerina and the author.
