"A stunning, sobering story of nature manipulated for the few, by the few. Over and over, they find dams we don't need and power plants we don't want, built with tax dollars we can't get back."--L.A. Reader"The book is both ambitious and largely successful. Wiley and Gottlieb paint a fairly grim picture of manipulation by government and influential private interests of the mighty resources of the Southwest, from water to the labor force."--Journal of Arizona History"A valuable interpretation of the modern Southwest."--Arizona and the West No library descriptions found. |
