Description

With compelling detail, Without Reservation tells the stunning story of the upward thrust of the richest Indian tribe in history.

In 1973, an old American Indian woman dies with nothing left of her tribe but a 214-acre tract of abandoned forest. It kind of feels to be the end of the Mashantucket Pequot tribe. But it’s only the start. Over the following three decades, the reservation grows to nearly 2,000 acres, home to more than 600 people claiming to be tribal members.  It has also turn into home to Foxwoods, the largest casino on the planet, grossing more than $1 billion a year.

Without Reservation reveals the mysterious roots of these days’s Pequot tribe, the racial tension that divides its members, and the Machiavellian internal power struggle over who will keep an eye on the tribe’s funds. Creator Jeff Benedict brings to us the deal makers, the courtroom machinations, the trusts and betrayals.

Now, with remarkable new information, the paperback brings us up-to-date on these revelations, which lead to state and federal investigations and calls for congressional hearings.
