George I. Sánchez was a reformer, activist, and intellectual, and one of the most influential members of the "Mexican American Generation" (1930-1960). A professor of education at the University of Texas from the beginning of World War II until the early 1970s, Sánchez was an outspoken proponent of integration and assimilation. He spent his life combating racial prejudice while working with such organizations as the ACLU and LULAC in the fight to improve educational and political opportunities for Mexican Americans. Yet his fervor was not always appreciated by those for whom he advocated, and some of his more unpopular stands made him a polarizing figure within the Latino community.Carlos Blanton has published the first biography of this complex man of notable contradictions. The author honors Sánchez's efforts, hitherto mostly unrecognized, in the struggle for equal opportunity, while not shying away from his subject's personal faults and foibles. The result is a long-overdue portrait of a towering figure in mid-twentieth-century America and the all-important cause to which he dedicated his life: Mexican American integration.

Hay guerras que, aunque dejaran huella entre sus contemporáneos, poco a poco van cayendo en el olvido. Poca gente recuerda que el 24 de octubre de 1594 el duque Carlo Emanuele I de Saboya recuperó la plaza fuerte de Bricherasio, que había sido previamente tomada por los franceses. Sin embargo, la gesta dio ocasión a varios poemas épicos italianos y españoles. De estos, el primero fue Relación de la empresa de Briquerás, compuesta por el alférez Diego Sánchez, hijo nada menos que del Brocense, que se imprimió en Turín en 1595 y se escribió en alabanza del duque y de su esposa, Catalina de Austria. Un año después y en Milán, el capellán castrense fray Francisco de Hermosilla compuso la Primera parte del valeroso Zaide, que no llegó a ver la luz, pero que don Juan de Mendoza y Velasco, gobernador entonces del Milanesado, conservó en su biblioteca particular. Desde diversas perspectivas, ambos poemas ofrecen un testimonio preciso del conflicto y rinden un homenaje al valor de las armas españolas, cuando el reinado de Felipe II se acercaba a su ocaso.
