Recall!: California's Political Earthquake

Also available in a hardcover edition (0765614561, $45.95), Recall!: California's Political Earthquake by San Jose State University political science professors Larry N. Gerston and Terry Christensen is the true story of the 2003 election to recall California's sitting governor, Gray Davis. Detailing in precise economic, political, and sociological terms the events that led up to the vote and the election of bodybuilder turned actor turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, Recall! is a superb addition to modern American history shelves, and unmatched in its acutely keen and balanced perspective of recent events.
