Description

A unique memoir charting the modern political history of Los Angeles as told by one of its most consequential elected leaders. An activist with political skills can take on powerful special interests, and a balkanized governance structure, and make government work. An eye-opening, behind-the-scenes account of how government really works

Author Biography:

In a Los Angeles political career spanning four decades (City Council 1975-1994, County Board of Supervisors 1994-2014), Zev Yaroslavsky played a central role in shaping America’s largest metropolis. Health care, transportation, arts and culture, the environment, and fiscal policy were his domain. He received an MA in History and a BA in Economics and History, both from UCLA, where he currently teaches Public Policy and History. A career journalist, Josh Getlin covered politics in Los Angeles and Washington, DC for the Los Angeles Times and was the paper’s New York Bureau Chief from 2001-2008. He received an MS from the Columbia University School of Journalism and a BA in History from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
