A fascinating account of the recurring fights over Tasmania's natural resources that have torn its people apart for three decades, this is a history of bitter conflicts over Tasmania's natural resources between the State government and big business on the one hand and the environmental movement on the other. Although told mostly from the environmentalist's point of view, it is a factual account of events that begun in the 1970s with the flooding of Lake Pedder and continue to this day with the controversial Gunns pulp mill. This compelling read clarifies the issues and influences that have cleaved the Tasmanian State in two.
