This is the story of a tragedy that can and does happen anywhere, but has never been described before such passion and rare conviction. In their own harsh, sparing cadences, it is the story of the men and women who is calling with their fathers' and forefathers' before them: of their anger and the world and at the forces dividing them from their hard held traditions; of how so recklessly politics, money and progress can conspire to destroy a community, a way of life, a proud history.  dust jacket blurb the top and front edge have a couple of grubby marks, internally the book is clean and free of annotation.
