Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The compelling inside story of Cindy Sheehan's vigil in Crawford, Texas, that redefined the Bush presidency. At the center of it all was Crawford's own local paper, The Lone Star Iconoclast. The Vigil is an invaluable record of the Iconoclast's coverage, with Sheehan herself providing a scene-setting foreword.
A high-stakes, blow-by-blow account of the events as they unfolded, The Vigil lets readers experience this vigil right along with the writers and participants as the paper's publisher (W. Leon Smith) and crew demonstrate a level of professional integrity that-to quote Sheehan herself-"shine[s] like a lone spark of integrity in the prairie darkness."
