Fred Ross was Cesar Chavez's mentor since 1952, when he discovered the young farm laborer working in Apricot orchards near San Jose. Conquering Goliath: Cesar Chavez at the Beginning is the fastmoving chronicle of a little known David and Goliath battle pitting Chavez and a handful of farm workers against 200 growers and three government in 1958, which led directly four years later to the launching of the ?United Farm Workers of America. 'Many books have been written on what happened in the movement,' Cesar Chavez says. 'This is the first book that shows how it was done.'
