Book Overview

"An important book of investigative journalism, especially relevant for those living in the Mountain West."

--ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL

What was really behind the 2015 Gold King Mine disaster in southwestern Colorado? When the river that his ancestors had settled next to in the 1870s turned orange with mining-related pollution in 2015, Jonathan P. Thompson knew he would write a book about it. Thompson, an award-winning investigative environmental journalist, digs into the science, politics, and greed behind the 2015 Gold King Mine disaster, and unearths a litany of impacts wrought by a century and a half of mining, energy development, and fracking in southwestern Colorado. Amid these harsh realities, Thompson explores how a new generation is setting out to make amends.
