From the Publisher
This response sums up precisely our reason for publishing this book: "Wartime California is a fascinating artifact that sheds light on a neglected dimension of California history. The story told here is one that has been lived but seldom seen, a story of regional rivalry, military assault, water politics, and racial struggle, and of thriving cultures perpetually on the brink of violence. It vividly recalls the catastrophic traumas of recent decades with a sense of history-in-the-making. Present-day readers and chroniclers of the future will be grateful for the preservation of this important lost work, which offers a window onto a previously unimaginable past." Stephen D. O'Leary Author of Arguing the Apocalypse and Associate Professor in the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Southern California
