Discusses how Los Angeles has grown and changed in the last 20 years, portraying the region on the brink of disaster, as politicians, developers, and ordinary citizens shape L.A.'s future through short-sighted political maneuvers. Covers such topics as L.A.'s failed rail transit system, the battle over South Central after the 1992 riots, and the emergence of Las Vegas as a younger version of L.A., spinning out of control with rapid growth. The author provides the information in hopes that cities like Los Angeles can learn from its mistakes and create a better urban environment. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From Preface by Author: "This monograph describes U.S. Army Riverine planning and operations in the Republic of Vietnam during the years 1966 through 1969. Since the personal experience of the author was with preparations for riverine operations and the initial operations themselves, emphasis has been placed on these activities through early 1968. In summarizing operations conducted in the balance of the three-year period, particular attention has been called to significant trends or changes in riverine operations in Vietnam, a co-operative enterprise of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy. Looking back from the vantage point of early 1972, this study attempts to reconstruct the events and describe the situation as it was from 1966 through 1969, using official records, reports and personal interviews...."

During 1965 and HlCi6 when the possibility of creating a U.S. riverine force for operations in the Mekong Delta was being discussed, there were three basic considerations that weighed heavily in favor of the force: a tradition of past American success in riverine operations, particularly Union operations in the Mississippi basin during the Civil War; the success more recently archived by the French in riverine operations during the Indochina \Var under conditions that appeared to have changed little during the years that had intervened; and, most important. a situation in the Mekong Delta that seemed ripe for exploitation hy a riverine force."
