Reviews
"One of the very best books I have ever read about a place is Imperial San Francisco, by Gray Brechin.... With its tales of skullduggery, brilliant enterprise, racist arrogance, environmental ruin, and ruthless competition, it will be an astonishment to anyone who knows modern San Francisco only as the gentlest of American cities." - Jan Morris, Independent (UK) "Books of the Year," November 2000" Included in the Los Angeles Times Book Review's "Best Nonfiction of 2000", Named a "Book of the Year" in the Independent (UK) San Francisco Chronicle Best-Seller List, December 1999, Honorable Mention for the Pacific Coast Branch Award, American Historical Association.
