The Mayor: How I Turned Around Los Angeles after Riots, an Earthquake and the O.J. Simpson Murder Trial
By Richard J. Riordan.
Riordan is one of only a handful of Republicans to have been elected mayor of Los Angeles in modern history. A politician, philanthropist and businessman, Riordan sought to empower Los Angeles residents with clearly defined yet compassionate pragmatism. From 1993 to 2001, Riordan worked closely with then-president Bill Clinton to rebuild Los Angeles, both figuratively and literally, amid a devastating natural disaster, dangerous civil unrest, skyrocketing crime rates, a plummeting economy and race relations that were tumultuous at best. Riordan?s memoir examines his administration?s difficulties and triumphs during one of the most trying times in Los Angeles? history.
