Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"You won't know Jack Ward Thomas—13th chief of the USDA Forest Service—until you have read this remarkable volume..Skillfully edited and introduced by Harold K. Steen, preeminent historian of American forestry, this book offers a blunt set of insights into and a disturbing feel for environmental politics during the Clinton years."
* Journal of Forestry *
"This is living history at its best, an intimate glimpse into the life of a man whose dedication to public service gives new meaning to the role of leadership in government and the broader conservation movement..A complete 'course' in natural resource policy, public administration, ethics, and personal courage—a course in philosophy tempered by experience."
