This lively and provocative history of California offers an unparalleled account of contemporary California, the events of the late 80s and early 90s, as well as expanded coverage of social and cultural history, particularly on the post-1960s.

Fine and concise history of California

I used this as a text book in a history of California class several years ago. It was an interesting read and I did not notice any obvious mistakes or ommissions. He covers California history very well and includes the history of the original peoples, women and a variety of minority groups. It is a social and a political history of California.

Easy read introduction

I felt compelled to write a quick review of this book in response to the harsh ratings it has been given. Any history is going to miss out some things that some people find extremely important. At least this book acknowledges as much - even in the title!

I found this book a surprisingly easy read. I work in the cultural resource industry, writing reports etc., and I have found it extremely useful as a general text on California history. I have also seen it widely used in reports authored by other professionals.

I have yet to come across a better book for a comprehensive introduction to California history.
