| Synopsis: |
Brown chronicles the scandalous mismanagement of our Pacific salmon resource and the maritime culture it supported. Moreover, he explains why it happened and what needs to be done to reverse the process -- even at this late date. Brown not only describes the tragedy of errors that led to the industry's malaise, but he makes it positively absorbing reading. Dennis Brown, fishery policy advisor to NDP Premier Glen Clark and one-time member of the Pacific Salmon Treaty negotiating committee, brings to this highly critical book his extensive experience at working all sides of the table during the chaotic upheaval that was the salmon wars of the 1990s. He places the reader at the centre of the controversies surrounding the Mifflin Plan, the Alaska ferry blockade and other highly charged media events while carefully analysing the motivations of key decision-makers. This inside story is enriched with verbatim accounts and sharp characterisations of major players from Premier Clark to Fisheries Minister David Anderson. Salmon Wars is a definitive work, sure to be acknowledged as a landmark study of this crucial subject. |
