Eruption: The Untold Story of Mount St. Helens by Steve Olson

3.0

3.5 stars Aside from the title - which doesn't represent what is actually written in the book - the book is well written and research and full of good information. The eruption is a minor part of the book. The story told wasn't previously untold. There was good insight into how horribly it was managed by the government - state, USFS - and Weyerhaeuser. What an embarrassment! There's a lot of history of the company of Weyerhaeuser. There's some history of the land management and ownership of the land around MSH. It's well written and entertaining but not what I was expecting based on the title.
