Making of Modern Los Angeles, the

This title chronicles the modernisation of Los Angeles over a fifty-year period through the eyes of Nick Patsaouras, a resident who served for many years on various city zoning boards and infrastructure departments. In his no-nonsense, straightforward writing style, he takes readers behind the scenes, where colossal egos clashed, where politics prevailed over principles, and where the art of compromise flourished.
