Summary |
"H. Bruce Franklin has elucidated some of the most significant events and issues of our time: Vietnam, nuclear weapons, the U.S. prison system. Here he turns his talents as a historian and storyteller to a small, unappetizing fish that most have never heard of. Why? Because menhaden have shaped America's natural - and national - history, and today a single company threatens their place in both."--BOOK JACKET |
