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 known—and, in a few special cases, feared—as 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.

"Honor Few, Fear None" by Ruben "Doc" Cavazos is a well written albeit quick read about both the author and the Mongols Motorcycle Club. This is the first such general public book on this particular club, the second coming from a major 1%er outlaw motorcycle club president (the first, "Hell's Angel", was published in 2000 and is the life story of Ralph "Sonny" Barger, the ultimate Hells Angel leader and spokesman).
The first thing noticed about Cavazos' book is its title. The Mongols' credo is "Respect Few, Fear None" and the book's title is a version of this, perhaps to avoid copywrite/product registration issues with the club.
The author provides a fast-paced history of himself and the Mongols, the challenges the club has faced over the years, and Cavazos' vision of and for the club since becoming a full-patched member. General readers interested in the outlaw motorcycle gang and 1%er persona will find this book a straight-forward insight into one of the top six such clubs in the country. Coupled with the recent History Channel "Gangland" special on the Mongols in which Cavazos is well interviewed, much of the secrecy and mystery of the club is brought out into the open...at least as much as the Mongols may wish exposed.
Of notable interest is the chapter dedicated to the author's recollections and observations about retired ATF undercover agent William "Billy" Queen, who successfully infiltrated the Mongols' San Fernando chapter and later wrote the book "Under and Alone" about his 2 1/2 year experience living and riding with the club. Queen's book came out in 2005 and became a best-seller, as was Barger's book. Cavazos' views and observations regarding "Under and Alone" will likely sell a few more books for Queen for those interested in his side of the story.
"Honor Few, Fear None" is a bold book by a man dedicated to his chosen lifestyle and club. It is sure to raise eyebrows and it leaves no doubt as to where the Mongols stand and who the Mongols are.
 I find it hard to feel sympathy for this guy. June 30, 2008

Cavazos is angry because the ATF raided his home and took his guns, bikes, and money. Angry is what he should be, because the guns, bikes, and money belonged to him, therefore they're important to him. You might say they're not important, but all property is important to the people that own it.
This is why I don't feel any sympathy for him.
Did he feel the same way about the people he stole from? When he stole cars, did he think about the people who owned them? When he stole clothes, did he think about the store owner that lost money (or the sales clerk who may have gotten her pay docked)? When the ATF raided his home, made a mess, and took his property, did he think of the people he shot for "disrespecting" him? I don't think so!
I read the first 80 pages, then decided not to by the book. I rarely believe stories by people like these; they write self-serving arrogance just to stoke their own egos. I'm glad Cavazos had a well-paid career as an x-ray specialist, but he put his son in danger through his own ignorance. He claims the Mongols aren't bad people, but lets face it, a sizeable number of their members commit violent crimes that effect non-members. The ATF raids on his house were really his own fault. He who lies with dogs wakes up with fleas.
 A good read June 22, 2008

A very good read for anyone interested in the topic of one-percenter clubs. The book is a quick read and clips along at a fast pace. Makes a good companion to "Under and Alone".

DOC DID A VERY GOOD JOB IN WRITING THIS BOOK. I READ IT IN 1.5 DAYS COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. HE SHOWED THAT THERE IS A DIFERENT SIDE TO THE MONGOLS MC THEN WHAT BILLY QUEEN MADE THEM OUT TO BE. I REALLY ENJOYED THE BOOK.

Ok book but the author does try to pull your leg trying to get you to believe that 1% are just good guys that do their own thing. People do not go to war with each other over just patches.
