Book Synopsis

Jack Webb's Los Angeles, a Southern California paradise built on confidence games and real estate booms, swindlers and boondoggles, is indeed "the city." But it is not the only one, as Ronald Schmidt makes clear in this critical look at the little-examined foundation of L.A.'s political culture.
