First line
The history of California in the twentieth century is the story of a state inventing itself with water.
From the rear cover
"'Water and Power' is not only the most detailed book on the subject but the first one to attempt to be balanced and fair, and, more important, to succeed. . . . A class on how to write history clearly, convincingly, with an eye on the bigger picture, and most of all, with deep common sense."--New York Times Book Review "A crackling piece of history, politics, and economics, full of information, controversy and drama . . . a course in reality, loaded with enough detail, characters, incidents, and richness to make plenty of fiction look pale. Definitive, enlightening, entertaining." --Newsday "Kahrl has done more than simply illuminate an issue of riveting public importance in California; he has set an example for journalists, commentators, and power brokers in California to follow."--Los Angeles Daily Journal "Ambitious, comprehensive, and grounded in those long-neglected sources historians could have used all along . . . . The Owens Valley - Los Angeles water controversy will never be the same again."--American Historical Review
