Long fascinated with the Mexican Revolution and the vicious border wars of the early twentieth century, Groom brings to life a much-forgotten period of history. Replete with gunfights, daring escapes and an unforgettable bullfight, El Paso is an indelible portrait of the American Southwest in the waning days of the frontier. Three decades after the first publication of "Forrest Gump", Winston Groom returns to fiction with this sweeping American epic.
