Troubled Waters: The Fight for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness

Rating:
Summary: Thorough policy history
Review: This book is written with the help of three people who were active participants in the fight for the BWCA. It is well written and thoroughly documented. It is biased in that the authors wanted increased protection of the BWCA and provides inside information from the pro-protection side of the fight. Even so, they were able to remove themselves enough from the story to write an accurate account.

The fight is a very interesting story and parallels many other environmental fights throughout the country.

Anyone looking for a monograph concerning Minnesota history, legislative history, environmental history, or just a good read this is a highly recommended read.
