What The Reviewers Say
A panoramic history.
Expansive and revealing presidential history.
This doorstopper of a book, however, is more than just a reminder of how deeply the country was buried in an ecological dumpster. It's also an inspirational tome, one that shows how a few dedicated people can take on the status quo and create meaningful change.
Assiduously detailed yet flowing narrative.
