Vigil 26 Days in Crawford, Texas

"In August of 2005, a grieving mother and her supporters laid siege to Crawford, Texas. Cindy Sheehan set up camp outside of President Bush's ranch, determined to find some answers. For 26 days, all eyes were on Camp Casey." "At the center of it all was Crawford's own Lone Star Iconoclast. In the heart of the reddest of Red States, The Iconoclast found itself caught between the public's (deeply conservative) expectations, and the paper's publisher, W. Leon Smith's, sense of journalistic duty to report objectively. The Vigil is a record of The Iconoclast's coverage, with Sheehan herself providing a scene-setting forward." "The result is a high stakes, blow-by-blow account of the events as they unfolded. You experience this vigil right along with the writers and participants: the heat, the fire ants, the gunplay, the celebrity appearances, and the intense emotional rollercoaster that has yet to end."--BOOK JACKET.Cindy, Sheehan is the author of 'Vigil 26 Days in Crawford, Texas', published 2005 under ISBN 9781932857337 and ISBN 1932857338.
