""Thirty Explosive Years in Los Angeles County" chronicles regional governance and politics in the tumultuous era from the Great Depression through the early years of the Cold War. A passionate political reformer who served on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Ford sought to modernize an archaic form of local government and to make it responsive to the outside forces that both drove and constrained its work. He was frequently the lone advocate for the less affluent, and his story speaks to the challenges that continue to roil American politics."--Tom Sitton, author of "Grand Ventures: The Banning Family and the Shaping of Southern California"
