TY - GEN T1 - Prisoners of Myth : the Leadership of the Tennessee Valley Authority, 1933-1990. A1 - Hargrove, Erwin C. LA - English PP - Princeton PB - Princeton University Press YR - 2001 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_ocn705526979 AB - Prisoners of Myth is the first comprehensive history of the Tennessee Valley Authority from its creation to the present day. It is also a telling case study of organizational evolution and decline. Building on Philip Selznick's classic work TVA and the Grass Roots (1949), a seminal text in the theoretical study of bureaucracy, Erwin Hargrove analyzes the organizational culture of the TVA by looking at the actions of its leaders over six decades--from the heroic years of the New Deal and World War II through the postwar period of consolidation and growth to the time of troubles from 1970 onward.
