New Book on the Oil Industry and Alaska.

By Dan Bross

Fairbanks, Alaska – Agonistes is a Greek word meaning torn with inner conflict. Former Alaska journalist Joe LaRocca's recently released book, "Alaska Agonistes", details the contentious time in the state following the discovery of oil on the North Slope. LaRocca has a critical perspective that often runs counter to our common view. As LaRocca tells Kuac's Dan Bross, he considers Jay Hammond Alaska's worst elected governor.
