Dreamers and Schemers: How an Improbable Bid for the 1932 Olympics Transformed Los Angeles from Dusty Outpost to Global Metropolis Paperback - 2020
by Barry Siegel
From the rear cover
"Dreamers and Schemers brings alive the rollicking era when Los Angeles came of age, even as the world plunged into war and the Great Depression. What a remarkable tale. This is masterful storytelling."--Gay Talese
"Barry Siegel brilliantly evokes a complex drama: the misery of the Great Depression, a flood of desperate migrants coming into Southern California, relentlessly optimistic boosterism promoting the first summer Olympics on US soil in nearly thirty years--and an extraordinary, larger-than-life character at the center of the story."--Adam Hochschild, author of Lessons from a Dark Time and Other Essays "Dreamers and Schemers is engrossing, outlandish, fascinating, and a reading delight. It pulls the curtain back on a great piece of LA history--the 1932 Olympics--and manages to tell the entire story of the city's rise. A pleasure for anyone who loves a well-told tale."--Susan Orlean, author of The Library BookDetails
