"After World War II, the U.S. government lured two pulp companies to Southeast Alaska by promising them low-cost timber from the Tongass National Forest, the planet's largest coastal temperate rain forest. The mills brought jobs and growth to a sparsely settled region. They also wreaked ecological havoc and created a timber industry that broke labor unions, drove competitors out of business, and controlled politicians and the U.S. Forest Service.
It took a national campaign, led by grassroots environmentalists, to bring sanity and sustainability to management of the Tongass."--BOOK JACKET.
"In her insightful account of Alaska's era of pulp, Durbin draws on the voices of the people most affected: independent loggers who fought back when the pulp companies conspired to drive them out of business, courageous biologists who warned that logging was destroying critical fish and wildlife habitat, Tlingit Indians who saw their traditional hunting grounds vanish, young activists and lawyers who found their lives transformed by the battle for the Alaska rain forest."--BOOK JACKET.
