“Among all the books I’ve read about Arizona history and politics, there is nothing that matches this one in scope and depth. The range of topics—and the author’s mastery of each of them—should make the book a ‘must’ for a wide array of scholars, attorneys and judges, city managers, politicians, nonprofit directors, etc.”—Daniel J. Herman, author of Hell on the Range: A Story of Honor, Conscience, and the American West
“David Berman has an unmatched knowledge of the breadth of Arizona politics and government, both historical and contemporary. He understands the range of structural elements of Arizona’s government, its election patterns, and its interest and cultural groups. . . . Of particular use and insight is his coverage of reforming the election system.”—Philip VanderMeer, author of Burton Barr: Political Leadership and the Transformation of Arizona
