It's been quite a while since I've read it, but I thought The
Zoot-Suit
Murders by Thomas Sanchez was a pretty good book on,
surprisingly
enough, the zoot suit riots. The riot scenes in particular
were
well-written, recalling the end of West's Day of the Locusts,
evoking
that feeling of getting lost in an event, as characters get a
very small
piece of the bigger picture, in fact not even being aware at
the time
that there is a bigger picture. I also have a non-fiction
book
somewhere on the riots, but it's buried right now.
