War on the West: Government Tyranny on America’s Great Frontier

War on the West lays out, issue by issue, the attack now underway on timber, mining, ranching, oil and gas exploration, tourism, and even the West’s most important resource: water. William Perry Pendley documents what he describes as the federal government’s systematic campaign to control and restrict economic activity on western lands.

Drawing on his experience as president of Mountain States Legal Foundation and his years of litigation against federal agencies, Pendley argues that the government’s environmental and land management policies amount to a war on the western way of life, threatening the livelihoods of millions of Americans who depend on the land and its resources.
