In Olympic Battleground, Lien documents more than one hundred years of political chicanery, citizen activism, bureaucratic failure, and the loss of primeval forest. This classic in historical investigation is now updated with a new chapter on the most recent preservation challenges confronting the park.Lien, Carsten is the author of 'Olympic Battleground The Power Politics of Timber Preservation', published 2000 under ISBN 9780898867367 and ISBN 0898867363.
