From a fire policy of prevention at all costs to today's restored burning, Between Two Fires is America's history channelled through the story of wildland fire management. Stephen J. Pyne tells of a fire revolution that began in the 1960s as simple suppression and then was replaced with more enlightened programmes of fire management.
