by Edward Sheldon In
1911, a bare-knuckles robber-baron has taken over
the grain industry in a Great Lakes city, squeezing
out all competition, crushing his workers, and
turning a once proud city into his own fiefdom. A
youthful idealist organizes a strike to fight back,
and the Boss threatens to bankrupt the entire
town. Perhaps the only real hope lies in the
unlikeliest place: the heart of a ruthless man who
has also fallen in love. One-half melodrama,
one-half social protest, The Boss is a
confrontation of corporate power, individual
generosity, community values, and even a newly
globalizing economy--all from 100 years ago.
