Description
Winston Groom's El Paso is a sweeping American epic that brings to life a much-forgotten period of history. Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution and the border wars of the early twentieth century, this sprawling saga explores themes of heroism, injustice, and love. The story revolves around two men: a legendary Pancho Villa and a thrill-seeking railroad tycoon known only as the Colonel. When Villa kidnaps the Colonel's grandchildren, he sets in motion a chain of events that draws an aging New England patriarch and his son to El Paso. As they hunt down the Generalissimo, they become embroiled in a world of gunfights, daring escapes, and unforgettable bullfights. Replete with action and drama, El Paso is an indelible portrait of the American Southwest in its waning days as a frontier.
