Reviews

"This book is a masterwork. It is journalism at its very best--a story told fully and eloquently. A story that everyone should know." --Michael Connelly, author of "Nine Dragons"

"This compelling and compassionate book could not be more timely. A gripping story of the betrayal of the Navajos, it comes at a time where once again the human costs of energy production are slighted and both the government and corporations ride roughshod over the least powerful." --Richard White, Pulitzer Prize finalist, Recipient of a Macarthur Fellowship, and Margaret Byrne Professor of American History, Stanford University
