About
Recounts the unsuccessful attempt by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to eliminate invasive South American fire ants from the American South in the years following World War II with a pesticide campaign that left a wake of dead wildlife, sickened cattle, and public protest, in a study that examines twentieth-century American concepts of nature and environmental stewardship.
