Reviews for The Agony of an American Wilderness. Loggers, Environmentalists, and the Struggle for Control of a Forgotten Forest.
The Agony of an American Wilderness is destined to be a classic case history study of the political/psychological/social/legal 'game that people play' relative to the national forest management.
