Description:
Hardback. New. Today, most of the 2,800 tranquil acres that make up Wye Island are managed by the Maryland Park Service. However, from 1973 to 1974, the island was the site of a raging controversy. Combining history, journalism, character sketches, and sharp sociological insight, the author presents the conflict over Wye Island in its multiple dimensions.
