 This is a riveting personal account of Maurice Jourdane--currently a Superior Court Judge and a member of the Jerry Brown's California Attorney General's Office--leading to his legal representation and advocacy for farm workers César Chávez's organizing efforts. Mo's life reads like a Greek mythic tale. The hero suffers and endures moral and physical sufferance in his quest, his now legendary legal fights and successes against the powerful California growers and agricultural interests.
