Business journalist Banham celebrates the forced transformation over the past 60 years of the Virginia county from a rural region of tobacco plantations and dairy farms into a business and technology hub and bedroom for the high and mighty in nearby Washington DC. He focuses on a handful of visionary leaders who blocked growth-control efforts by people who just wanted to live there. Among the heroes of his story are a zoning attorney, a university president, a few defense contractors, and several real estate developers.
