"Thompson's book provides not only a powerfully written history of a Mexican American who symbolizes 'resistance to oppression and intolerance, ' but also a clear, cogent explanation of the relationship between the United States and Mexico as they face each other across the Texas border."--Journal of American History "Jerry Thompson has produced the definitive work on one of the most controversial and influential Mexicano/Tejano figures of Texas and Southwestern history . . . .

This book certainly shows that Cortina 'established his niche in the grand sweep of time, ' but it will be left to other scholars to follow the many trails hinted at by Thompson."--Western Historical Quarterly "Jerry Thompson's sympathetic but balanced biography is a 'must read' for all students of Texas history and Anglo-Hispanic relations."--East Texas Historical Journal
