What is the author's tone in The Revolt of the Cockroach People by Oscar Zeta Acosta?

The tone of the book is quite subjective. The author is telling his own story of his involvement with the radical Chicano Militants. He not only was their lawyer and defender, he actually was one of them. He took part in the planning of their activities as well as in several acts of violence. He drove the car for the Safeway bombing and was part of the planning for the bombing of the Los Angeles courthouse. Brown grew up as a poor Chicano and experienced many of the same problems and frustrations that the residents of the Tooner Flats barrio in East Los Angeles. He identified with the people and how they were treated by the system. He used the argument of discrimination and political persecution in many of his defenses. Brown felt much of the same anger and frustrations and hatred with the establishment as the Militants did, and this is obviously in his writing. His choice of language used in referring to the police and judges and others illustrates his anger and hatred, and the voice takes a little getting used to on the part of the reader. Even though Brown was a lawyer, he was just as radical as the Chicano Militants, and at several points in the book refers to himself as a revolutionary. The subjective tone of the book adds to the realism of the book and the conditions in East Los Angeles.
