Book Review

Conservative Conservationist: Russell E. Train and the Emergence of American Environmentalism. By J. Brooks Flippen. (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2006. xii, 278 pp. $29.95, ISBN 978-0-8071-3203-6.)

J. Brooks Flippen previously sorted out the complexities of the environmental presidency of Richard M. Nixon. Flippen now looks at another "conservative conservationist," one who was genuinely green—and not because it was politically expedient or for want of a legacy with a scrap of decency. Flippen's new subject, former Nixon appointee and past head of the World Wildlife Fund, Russell E. Train, is much less complex than his one-time boss. But the context of his professional life was complex enough for Flippen to examine the Republican party's departure from its conservation tradition. While Train stayed the course, new party leaders steered directly into the winds of environmental protection.
