[close] Winston Groom’s latest novel, El Paso, has all the action and imagery that you expect from a good western: a cattle drive, a road trip race via airplane and train, cold-blooded murders, tense battlefield exploits, multiple kidnappings, complete with villains and heroes. Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, Groom’s handful of historical figures populates El Paso: Poncho Villa, President Wilson, Tom Mix, Ambrose Bierce, and Generals Pershing and Patton. Recommended for those who enjoy rip-roaring adventure.
