Rarely found signed copy of ''Cesar Chavez: Autobiography of La Causa,'' written by Chavez with Jacques Levy. A nonfiction account of Cesar Chavez and the struggles of the United Farm Workers to form a migrant workers' union to end the dramatic exploitation of temporary farm labor prevalent in the 1960s-70s. This book was the subject of a lawsuit, and later issues of the first edition came with a legal disclaimer pasted in. Matthiessen also revised it, and a new edition was issued a couple of years later. Matthiessen was a fascinating figure in his own right, from his early days as a CIA officer who founded the Paris Review magazine as a cover for his spying activities to his later career sympathizing with the American Indian Movement and environmental activism. A significant piece of reporting and social criticism chronicling one of the important labor movements of the Sixties. This item comes with a Letter of Authenticity issued by Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators along with the GFA guarantee of Authenticity.
