There is no comprehensive history of historic preservation in this country covering the years since 1950. The National Trust has published several volumes covering its own history, and the National Park Service has produced administrative studies of its landmarks program and the challenges that came with the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. James A. Glass has filled a most important gap in showing us the people and organizations that came together in the early 1960's to preserve the built environment of the United States in opposition to the forces of "progres." For the first time professionals in historical and preservation agencies will have a clear understanding of the National Historic Preservation Act, a major piece of legislation that has affected all of us. His lively text gives recognition to key actors in the drama that unfolded in Washington between 1964 and 1969.
