"The definitive work on the West's water crisis." --NewsweekThe story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted and dammed, of political corruption and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecological and economic disaster. In his landmark book, Cadillac Desert, Marc Reisner writes of the earliest settlers, lured by the promise of paradise, and of the ruthless tactics employed by Los Angeles politicians and business interests to ensure the city's growth. He documents the bitter rivalry between two government giants, the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in the competition to transform the West. Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose and a dramatic, intriguing history of the creation of an Eden--an Eden that may only be a mirage.This edition includes a new postscript by Lawrie Mott, a former staff scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, that updates Western water issues over the last two decades, including the long-term impact of climate change and how the region can prepare for the future.

The author writes like a conservationist who seems to consider the settling of the American southwest a tragic, evil confluence of greed and selfishness. Okay, I get it. But painting historical figures with almost comic bookish hues of good and evil cheapens the obvious deep level of research. It's also inconsistent. Early on the author agrees with William Mulholland that the LA River cannot sustain a six-figure population over time, yet later on in the same chapter he implies Mulholland exaggerated the water crisis in the LA Basin. It concludes the Red Queen chapter with a characterization that borders on a hatchet job. In general I first myself wanting to read Reisner's source books to see what he cherrypicked and what he ignored. The author undercuts his own arguments by drawing overwrought conclusions that contradict other historical accounts. Too bad, I was enjoying the read but now I find myself questioning its accuracy.
