Cadillac Desert update. The sequel is not as good.May 30, 2003 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is an update of Cadillac Desert. Marc Reisner felt that half a decade later his book Cadillac Desert was out of date given current trends in Western farming. Somehow, this book is really not that convincing. Marc Reisner's arguments seem a lot weaker than in Cadillac Desert. You almost feel that this book was written at gunpoint, with the rice farmer lobby holding the gun.
In other words, Cadillac Desert is far more insightful and prescient than this book. I would definitely read Cadillac Desert first.
