Product Description
The stunning, never-before-told story of Ruben "Doc" Cavazos, international president of the Mongols Motorcycle Club When Ruben "Doc" Cavazos changes his clothes at daybreak, he is no longer a CAT scan technician at the University of Southern California Medical Center. He becomes the man known?and, in a few special cases, feared?as Doc, international president of the Mongols, the fastest-growing and most closely watched organization of its kind in the United States. In reality, the Mongols are a tightly knit band of brothers devoted in equal measure to the club, their fellow Mongols, and their freedom. They live to enjoy life, party, and travel the open road. Above all, they demand respect. When pushed too far, Mongols join together to push back. Just ask the Hells Angels, the Ukrainian mafia, the Mexican mafia, and the U.S. government. All have tested the Mongols' resolve. In Honor Few, Fear None, Doc is ready, for the first time, to share the stories of the Mongols' battle to survive and thrive against incredible odds and sometimes terrible violence. Doc takes you to the streets and into the bars, the secret meetings, the brawls, and the shoot-outs, all proof that if you live like a Mongol does, you must honor few, fear none.

 A Fun Book about Squeaky Clean Outlaws August 29, 2008
A standard 1%er pose is the wide-eyed "We're not all saints, but we're just a club of guys who like to party and ride." (As long as they're sure you won't believe this.) Ex-gangbanger and current outlaw president Calvos takes this line in his rejoinder to Billy Queen's Under and Alone, with just a few details left in to make sure you do realize that the Mongols are heavily armed and kill people who piss them off.
Don't expect a realistic picture of the outlaw life in this book. Calvos wants to respond to the criticism in Queen's book (Queen was an ATF agent who infiltred the Mongols) for growing the club by flooding it with his street gang friends and connections, rather than recruiting bikers. He's unapologetic--look at the results! Facing down the Angels! Chapters everywhere!
Sherman Alexie said that Indians spend their time arguing who's entitled to call themselves an Indian, and bikers to the same. This entertaining book is in the grand tradition, responding to Queen's Mongol's chapter's accusion of "We're real bikers and you're not." After all, Queen's chapter let in Queen, make him treasurer unasked, and gave him access to all the books. How lame is that?
 A different point of view... August 18, 2008
I had read the book, "Under and Alone" years ago. This book is a GREAT look at the other side of the story. Anyone with a brain understands that the WHOLE story of the Mongols MC isn't told here, but it's still an interesting peak into the club and an interesting story told from a unique viewpoint. I'd definately recommend this book to bikers and anyone within the biker subculture.

Doc wrote a down to earth and well written book about one of the "baddest" of the clubs. It would take alot of "B****" to wear that patch on your back!

 Not so fast....... July 27, 2008
While it's true that the Mongols are growing quickly, they've also lost a number of old time members who have quit in disgust or been shouldered out under duress due to this guy's new leadership. Anyone who brings in street gangs off the avenues of L.A. (la Eme) in order to rapidly boost membership and in a number of cases- waived the "must have motorcycle to be a biker" rule ain't gonna tell the truth in any book.He has his own agenda and one not in keeping with what the Mongols have been.Save your money.
