AGAINST THE FLOW is a first-person account of the bureaucratic incompetence and political mismanagement behind this controversial dam development, which reveals at the same time the woeful inadequacy of the federal government's environmental assessment process.
A landmark legal case, an economic panacea, a political boondoggle, a solution to the drought of the century, a sell-out to the Americans, a boon to wildlife, and an environmental holocaust - all these terms have been applied to the Rafferty-Alameda project.
THE AUTHOR: George Hood was one of the principals involved in the Rafferty-Alameda project. His detailed, careful analysis of the complexities of events between 1985 and 1993 explains a story that has been misunderstood by the Canadian public.
