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."

  • Explore the roots of noble cause corruption within the NPS
  • 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.
