"This book tells three interconnected stories: It chronicles a century of attempts
to build dams in Grand Canyon and why those attempts failed. It demonstrates how the
National Environmental Policy Act came out of these controversies. Finally, it debunks
the myth that the Sierra Club saved Grand Canyon and shows how the club parlayed this
perception into the leadership of the modern environmental movement after NEPA became
law"
