Three Years Our Mayor

George Moscone and the Making of Modern San Francisco

Beschreibung

"Through illustrating the life of Mayor George Moscone, author Lincoln A. Mitchell explores how today's San Francisco came into being. Moscone-through his work in the State Senate, victory in the very divisive 1975 mayor's race, and brief tenure as mayor-was a key figure in the city's evolution. The politics surrounding Moscone's election as mayor, governance of the city, and tragic death are still relevant issues. Moscone was a groundbreaking politician whose life was cut short, but his influence on San Francisco can still be felt today"--
