  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Bisbee, Arizona, queen of the western copper camps, 1917.&lt;/b&gt;  The protagonists in a bitter strike:  the Wobblies (the IWW), the toughest union in the history of the West; and Harry Wheeler, the last of the two-gun sheriffs.  In this class-war western, they face each other down in the streets of Bisbee, pitting a general strike against the largest posse ever assembled.       Based on a true story, &lt;I&gt;Bisbee '17&lt;/I&gt; vividly re-creates a West of miners and copper magnates, bindlestiffs and scissorbills, army officers, private detectives, and determined revolutionaries.  Against this backdrop runs the story of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, strike organizer from the East, caught between the worlds of her ex-husband&amp;#151;the Bisbee strike leader&amp;#151;and her new lover, an Italian anarchist from New York.  As the tumultuous weeks of the strike unfold, she struggles to sort out what she really feels about both of them, and about the West itself.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[If the review system had more options, I would give this four stars for technique and five for audacity. It's not a history--he puts some historical characters onto the scene who were not there--but it's a great use of fiction to present history that's often ignored.]]></body>
