In late-1940s America, few writers commanded attention like Bernard DeVoto. Alongside his brilliant wife and editor, Avis, DeVoto was a firebrand of American liberty, free speech, and perhaps our greatest national treasure: public lands. But when a corrupt band of lawmakers, led by Senator Pat McCarran, sought to quietly cede millions of acres of national parks and other western lands to logging, mining, and private industry, the DeVotos entered the fight of their lives.

It was a well told story of both the historical context of conservation and the politics that affected it, and also the personal characters that made such a difference. I very much appreciated learning so much about this history and being able to shed light on how it plays out with current events, sadly. Some of the storyline went back-and-forth and made the timeline a bit hard to follow.
