Description:
By the 1960s the Hudson River had been transformed by pollution from a national treasure into a national joke. The Riverkeepers is the story of the citizens belonging to the grassroots organization Hudson Riverkeepers who fought to win back the river, written by the well-known environmentalists who spearheaded the crusade. In compelling detail, John Cronin and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., describe their confrontations with such environmental lawbreakers as Exxon, the electrical-power industry, and the Army Corps of Engineers, recount bitter court battles and intricate political intrigues, and reveal the strategies that made victory possible.
