Review

"A highly partisan, wonderfully readable portrayal of the damning, diverting and dirtying of western rivers."

"Intelligent, provocative, and compulsively readable."

Publisher's note

Newly updated, this timely history of the struggle to discover and control water in the American West is a tale of rivers diverted and damned, political corruption and intrigue, billion-dollar battles over water rights, and economic and ecological disaster. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. Photos.

Annotation

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.
