[quote=no_such_reality]No, how’s it compare to Cadillac Desert, basically the building of the West through the water programs.
Incredible DVD if you can find it, originally done by PBS I think. The documentary had interviews with the then surviving key players in the Bureau, etc.[/quote]
NSR: Book is essentially complementary to “Cadillac Desert”, which I have seen. “W&P” has a strong focus on the politics, especially how controlling LA’s water supply led to an incredible concentration of power.
I don’t remember the author, but there’s an excellent bio on William Mulholland that also details the levers of power that took LA from a cow town to major metropolis.
