About this title

Synopsis

Uncover the hidden history of America's National Park Service and the "Yosemite Mafia." Drawing upon his experiences as a criminal investigator, Paul Berkowitz exposes a culture of misconduct and ethical lapses within the NPS. This investigative non-fiction reveals how an over-emphasis on the "ranger image" has led to a system where accountability is compromised and corruption can thrive.

Berkowitz challenges conventional wisdom, citing verified news accounts, internal agency documents, and personal notes to demonstrate a bias against professional law enforcement. He uncovers a history of cover-ups and ethical compromises, beginning with the infamous "Yosemite Mafia."

Understand the impact of the "ranger image" on agency practices
Discover the truth behind the Yosemite Mafia and their legacy

For readers interested in government transparency, environmental conservation, and the ethical responsibilities of law enforcement, this is a cautionary tale of an agency struggling to live up to its ideals.
