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 knownand, in a few special cases, fearedas 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.

Fluffy July 18, 2008 This book did keep me interested enough to read it, but took only a few hours to do this. Not very insightful about the working of this club, but if you're interested in how the author thinks, you'll get a little bit of insight....and alot of whining about law enforcement.
Honor Few, Fear None July 16, 2008 Well Doc, I think you've done it. This is the only book I've found that tells the Mongol story. You've done a good job of writing it and it seems to tell the tale Quite well. If anyone is interested in the 'History' of the 1% clubs, this book should be in the mix.
HONOR FEW, FEAR NONE July 14, 2008 I ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK VERY MUCH. IT FASCINATES ME. THE AUTHOR SEEMS SO DOWN TO EARTH, EVEN THOUGHT HE IS IN A MOTORCYCLE CLUB. I HAPPENED TO KNOW SOME OF THESE GUYS IN THE MC, THEY ARE NOT AS BAD AS THE POLICE MAKES THEM OUT BE.I'M HOPING RUBEN CAVAZOS WRITES ANOTHER BOOK.
Some Honor, No Fear July 4, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought the book because I was curious. I also like to read. The book moves along quickly and does offer some insight into the writers world. However It is written from the perspective of someone who does not view their world as deeply and disturbing as others might. I also felt the writer was more passionate about describing his childhood, which I found fascinating and well written. The rest of the book I felt the writer skimmed over important details that would have made it meatier and a better read. It felt like he was trying to cover, or justify things or at least it just came across as that. I can understand why the writer wouldn't want to write in detail some of the occurances which were mentioned, but from the readers perspective this is where it got weak and boring. For example, when the writer described being initiated into his first gang, he was very specific as to how he was led into that direction, He led the reader along a journey where the initiation became part of his world. I thought that was interesting and good reading. The details of his Mongol life were less interesting and more skimmed over. I still recommend the book, I think the perspective is very interesting. I wish the writer would have penned a fictional book really detailing out the passion and intensity of the what the title of the book suggests you to consider. I am thinking that perhaps he didn't do so to prevent liability. For the reader it just felt flat. I am sure there is a very passionate and intense story there somewhere. If not, then it explains exactly how someone can be involved in a lifestyle where denial and skewed perspective prevents you from truly understanding what you are involved in. I'd like to see him write fictional stories with more passion and detail that might grip you and take you on the real journey. In some instances he was flat out emotionless - although this might be the only way to survive conflict, it doesn't make for good reading.
Great book Doc!! Mongols MC Supporter, Chiques Chap July 3, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought this book was very well put together. I didn't want to put it down until I finished it. I'm a huge supporter of the Mongols MC!! It's a black and white world and if you don't like oh well!!
