- Summary
- "A Fierce Green Fire presents the definitive history of American environmentalism from the earliest day of the republic to the present. Originally published in 1993, this new edition brings the story up to date with an analysis of how the administration of George W. Bush is seeking to dismantle a half-century of progress in protecting the land and its people. It also considers the growing international effort to protect Earth's life-support system and the obstacles that the United States government. In placing before that effort in a forward-looking final chapter, Shabecoff casts a cold eye on the challenges facing the environmental movement."--Jacket.
