AwardsA New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice
A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 1997 Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In January of 1995, after a generation of struggle between the wolf's friends and foes, the wolf was returned to Yellowstone. Thomas McNamee chronicles the drama of the reintroduction, the political machinations behind it, and the harrowing stories of the wolves themselves.
The wolf's return has brought far-reaching changes to Yellowstone, to the contending cultures of the modern West, and to the very meaning of conservation. In McNamee's telling, it is easy to see why this saga has stirred the imagination of a nation and created a hotbed of controversy. Review:"An informed account of the reconstitution of wolf packs, by a writer who can sympathize with both lovers and haters of wolves." The New York Times Book Review Review:"McNamee has a gift for storytelling and characterization. His excellent writing and wry sense of humor make this book a delight." Library Journal Review:"Best of all, it reads like a thriller. Thomas McNamee is an alpha writer." William Hjortsberg Review:"A deliciously written account of people and perceptions, of icon animals and myths....This is that rarity: a rip-roaring page-turner of a conservation book." Thomas E. Lovejoy, Smithsonian Institution Review:"This is a deep-feeling and thoughtful book, steeped in wolf biology, but informed by ecology, politics, and basic human nature." Vickie Croke, The Boston Globe Review:"A thoughtful account of the timber wolf's return to the Northern Rockies." Kirkus Reviews Review:"McNamee's fine account of the re-introduction of an essential part of the wild into the wild should appeal to a broad spectrum of readers."
