( )Another mandatory read for high school and college students for proper indoctrination. an importnat book for anybody who is interested in urban history and the history of the American West. Why reason why the West is gone is found in this book. It you are interested in your food sources, politics, and sociology this book is a must read. One of the most important books about modern American social problems you will ever read. Sadly even at twenty years of age it is still presicient and hardhitting of the truth. It is so sad that in twenty years nothing has changed - except the fact that there is less water than ever spread around to more people than ever in the American Southwest. The frightening thing about this book is that it was written 20 years ago! We will NEVER learn!!?? One of my favorite books; a compelling indictment of our water policy. I'm right wing, but this book really challenges our thinking about how private is our "private enterprise" in the West no reviews | add a review
