Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The realities of the darterâs case, Plater asserts, have been consistently mischaracterized in politics and the media. This book offers a detailed account of the six-year crusade against a pork-barrel project that made no economic sense and was flawed from the start. In reality TVAâs project was designed for recreation and real estate development. And at the heart of the little group fighting the project in the courts and Congress were family farmers trying to save their homes and farms, most of which were to be resold in a corporate land development scheme. Platerâs gripping tale of citizens navigating the tangled corridors of national power stimulates important questions about our nationâs governance, and at last sets the snail darterâs record straight.
Even today, thirty years after the legal battles to save the endangered snail darter, the little fish that blocked completion of a TVA dam is still invoked as an icon of leftist extremism and governmental foolishness. In this eye-opening book, the lawyer who with his students fought and won the Supreme Court caseâknown officially as Tennessee Valley Authority v. Hillâtells the hidden story behind one of the nationâs most significant environmental law battles.
