Book Review of The Ox-Bow Incident

The Ox-Bow Incident
reviewed on + 209 more book reviews


Probably the best analysis of the lynch mob mentality in any work of fiction. Often used as a school text. No heros to ride in and save the day. No girl to be rescued or ranch to be saved. Just a group of ordinary Westerners and what happened when lynch law took over.
