Product Description
When Ruben Cavazos changed his clothes at daybreak, he was no longer a CAT scan technician at the University of Southern California Medical Center. He became 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 their 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 of whom have tested the Mongols' resolve.
In Honor Few, Fear None, Doc is ready, for the first time, to share the stories of the Mongols' continuing battle to survive and thrive against incredible odds—and sometimes terrible violence.

The Real Truth, Sep 1 2008
By Old School 1%er - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Honor Few, Fear None: The Life & Times of a Mongol (Hardcover)
Honor Few, Fear None is neither well written nor interesting. It really isn't comparable to William Queen's Book, Under and Alone, which was better written, even if you don't appreciate ATF infiltrating a motorcycle club.This book should be an embarrassment to the Mongols MC and any other 1% club. It may cater to those who don't know anything about motorcycle clubs, but for those who do, it is one man's self-serving example of his ego and does not come close to the truth. For example, most people in Doc's position would not put down other brothers in the club just to build their own ego. No 1% club would allow another member to speak poorly of its own members.
Doc's version of the events at Laughlin gloss over the fact that he fled and left brothers on the floor of the casino to die after doing nothing to avoid the conflict that was building. The extensive sections about everything he stole as a kid are another example of his distorted sense of bravado. Then, he talks about doing "hard time" at Wayside, a Los Angeles County jail, for inmates sentenced to short term, local sentences.
Don't hold your breath waiting for Doc to write another book about the inner workings of the Mongols MC since he is now out of the club with the dishonor that he deserves.
Save your money and don't bother with this book.

Not so fast......., July 26 2008
By Oakland Born - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Honor Few, Fear None: The Life & Times of a Mongol (Hardcover)
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.

I find it hard to feel sympathy for this guy., Jun 29 2008
By B. Wolinsky "Ben's Reviews" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Honor Few, Fear None: The Life & Times of a Mongol (Hardcover)
Cavazos is angry because the ATF raided his home and took his guns, bikes, and money. Angry is what he should be, because the guns, bikes, and money belonged to him, therefore they're important to him. You might say they're not important, but all property is important to the people that own it.This is why I don't feel any sympathy for him.
Did he feel the same way about the people he stole from? When he stole cars, did he think about the people who owned them? When he stole clothes, did he think about the store owner that lost money (or the sales clerk who may have gotten her pay docked)? When the ATF raided his home, made a mess, and took his property, did he think of the people he shot for "disrespecting" him? I don't think so!
I read the first 80 pages, then decided not to by the book. I rarely believe stories by people like these; they write self-serving arrogance just to stoke their own egos. I'm glad Cavazos had a well-paid career as an x-ray specialist, but he put his son in danger through his own ignorance. He claims the Mongols aren't bad people, but lets face it, a sizeable number of their members commit violent crimes that effect non-members. The ATF raids on his house were really his own fault. He who lies with dogs wakes up with fleas.
Listmania!
