Title: Better than fiction
Review: That I couldn't put this book down is a testament to the adage that truth is more interesting than fiction. The author places Earp in context, and gives both sides to his story. The politics of Earp's time defined him and interpreted his conduct. The press was just as partisan during Earp's life as it is today, but unlike today both sides were represented and reported. This book explains the life and times of Wyatt Earp through the press's eyes and with it articulates the continuing battle between the law-and-order right and the excuse-the-criminal-as-victim left. Wyatt Earp, his brothers, and Doc Holliday were not angels by any means, but were rugged individualists who courageously interjected themselves into fascinating events that made history. This book is a great read!
