This book chronicles the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) from its humble beginnings as a small group of country public utility managers, through its spectacular growth into the second-largest nuclear power project in the nation, to its final collapse into the greatest municipal default in history. The author provides comprehensive coverage of the complex interaction of corporate entities, personalities, decisions, and events that resulted in the rapid rise and fall of WPPSS and attempts to unsnarl the entanglement of confusion and myth that has shrouded the facts in this case.
