About the Book

In 1961, a young let's-get-it-done Michael McCloskey was hired as the Sierra Club's first field representative for the Northwest. From there, for nearly forty years, he rose to guide the oldest and most powerful environmental organization in the world. In the Thick of It describes not only McCloskey's life as an environmental activist; it reveals the inner workings and politics of one of the nation's most influential environmental non-profit organisations during an era of ground-breaking environmental legislation.

About the Author :
MICHAEL McCLOSKEY recently retired as Chairman of the Sierra Club, but remains active on behalf of national environmental issues. He is currently a trustee of the Sierra Club Foundation and has recently served as President of the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs. He resides in Portland, OR.

Review :
"For nearly fifty years, Michael McCloskey has been the wisest, most astute analyst of environmental policy in the Sierra Club.... In the Thick of It provides more than a personal view of one of environmentalism's steadiest thinkers and actors: it reveals the way environmentalism matured in the late twentieth century."--Michael P. Cohen, author of "The History of the Sierra Club: 1892 to 1970" and "The Pathless Way" "Mike McCloskey launched me in my career when he persuaded me to come work for the Sierra Club part-time, and 'just for one year.' I never planned to stay, but his quiet leadership kept me at the Club until, eventually, I had the honor of succeeding him. He is the true architect of the modern Sierra Club and in many ways of the modern environmental advocacy movement, and In the Thick of It tells the story--a story I thought I knew, but of which the hidden twists and turns only became clear from Mike's book."--Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club "For many years I worked with Mike McCloskey and observed his admirable contributions to the advancement of the environmental movement. In the Thick of It will serve as a good reference for environmental historians."--Russell Peterson, former Chairman of the President's Council on Environmental Quality
