This book studies Los Angeles County and its government since World War II. A special focus is given to the "Titans of Temple Street," the five-member Board of Supervisors that determines policies and actions for many issues throughout the county, especially for residents who do not live in the county's 88 cities. It is the largest of all U.S. counties, with a population of more than 10 million, more residents than 41 states, and an annual budget of more than $44 billion, more than all but 19 states. It has served as an innovative example of county government since the early 1900s.
From 1974 to late 2006 Tom Sitton was on the curatorial staff of the history department of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. He has authored five books and many articles on the political and social history of Los Angeles and Southern California. He lives in Chino Hills, California.
