5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Captivating History of Los Angeles, October 13, 2009
Former Los Angeles Times columnist and City Editor, Bill Boyarsky, has authored a comprehensive and captivating history of the Chandler Family, founders of the L.A. Times. With many rare and beautiful pictures of old Los Angeles, this book describes the behind the scenes drama that went into the formation of one of America's greatest newspapers. Boyarsky goes into well-researched detail of how the Chandler Family was instrumental in helping create the great city that Los Angeles became.

The story behind the Chandler Family and the Los Angeles Times is a compelling read, even for those not from the region. At a time in which we are witnessing the decline and possible death of many newspapers - this book is an essential piece of history! I found the writing and photographs even more interesting than the Inventing L.A. PBS documentary.
