Synopsis
A history of the federal water projects that transformed the American West within a single generation. A former staff writer for the Natural Resources Defense Council, Reiser describes how the nationally coordinated construction of a series of dams, aqueducts, roads, and hydroelectric generators during the years immediately following the First World War provided the then-sparsely populated region the necessary infrastructure to develop into a thriving modern community.
Industry Reviews
"Intelligent, provocative, and compulsively readable."
Bellah
"A highly partisan, wonderfully readable portrayal of the damning, diverting and dirtying of western rivers."
