"Open the Dam Road"
The title of my review is a headline recently printed in a local newspaper. Fears of terrorism have caused the powers protecting the reservoir to close one of the roads around it.
I enjoyed the book because of the background information, especially the politics of the building of the great reservoir. From one who sees the reservoir fairly often, it's a great story. The author manages to resurrect the drowned villages to the best of his ability.
The book is a quick read.
