On March 24, 1989, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez went aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska, releasing more than ten million gallons of oil. At the time of the spill, longtime Alaska resident Art Davidson had just finished the text for Alakshak: The Great Country, a beautiful pictorial book celebrating pristine beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. Like other Alaska residents Davidson was shocked and angered by this senseless desecration of his homeland and, after receiving the go-ahead from Sierra Club Books that very day, he went to work immediately on a book. Davidson's story begins with a dramatic, minute-by-minute account of the wreck itself and the woefully ineffective oil spill response plans. He explores the reactions and interaction of the oil industry and government officials. But at the heart of the story are the heroic efforts of alarmed residents and volunteers trying desperately to save wildlife and contain the spreading oil. Fisherman Tom Copeland and his friends-using 5-gallon buckets to scoop up the oil-recovered more gallons a day from Prince William Sound than Exxon's best skimmer. Suzanne Marinelli, moved by television images of dying birds and otters, flew from her home on Kauai, Hawaii, to join volunteers pouring in from around the world to clean oil-soaked sea otters. And on Kodiak Island, in act of high-tech civil disobedience, Ray Monigold shut down Exxon's and VECO's regional computer systems (used to track oil spill operations) to protest the companies' delays in paying local people for their cleanup efforts. Determined to get the full story, Davidson also interviewed Exxon executives, state and federal decision-makers, environmental scientists, and Native villagers. Drawing on these exclusive accounts plus the myriad public documents generated by the disaster, Davidson present a compelling account of an environmental crisis beyond control and its devastating toll on Alaska's people, wildlife, and landscape. In the Wake of the Exxon Valdez is a story of environmental risk and the consequences that arise when greed and complacency undermine conscience, a forewarning of a disaster that could happen "wherever the world's tanker fleets transport oil." As Davidson observes, "Exxon played out a lesson in futility that the whole world needed to learn: No amount of money spent or personnel deployed can control a large oil spill."
