The author’s stated purpose is “to seek to picture for the reader the moving panorama of that struggle;
to catch for him a little of the spirit of those days, the action, the vivid color, the heroism, and the
despair.” The history under the FDR administration and the actions of Harold Ickes and John Collier are
detailed. The legal battles and Congressional actions illuminate a dark story in America’s history.
