Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Deeply and methodically researched, carefully and accurately presented, Haycox’s argument is clear: Alaska’s people have been relatively powerless to determine their future, despite being the ones who best know Alaska. As debate continues over the exploitation of Alaska’s remaining oilfields, this is a point of view that must be heard."
