A balanced, thorough and moving description of the event.

During the controversy I had the privilege of attending a number of events and to be witness to the courage and dignity of the Elwha Klallam Tribe. I thought this book was a thorough and fair description of what happened. I also think Doug MacDonald is an honorable man. The book is also engagingly written.
