Michael Grunwald is an American journalist, author, and policy analyst whose work explores the intersections of politics, history, and the environment. A former correspondent for The Washington Post, Time, and Politico, Grunwald is best known for his books The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida, and the Politics of Paradise (2006) and The New New Deal (2012), both of which combine investigative reporting with historical narrative to illuminate how political decisions shape ecological and economic landscapes. The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida, and the Politics of Paradise (2006) is a meticulously researched environmental history that examines the transformation of the Florida Everglades from a vast natural ecosystem into a contested site of political, economic, and ecological struggle. Grunwald traces the region’s history from early settlement and drainage efforts through the rise of agricultural and urban development, revealing how human ambition and policy have reshaped one of the world’s most unique wetlands.
