Analyzing the growth of Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco from 1910 to 1961, the author discredits the assumption that the industrialization of the Sunbelt was a result of a partnership between industry and the military. He argues that municipalities used federal resources to build urban empires and metropolitan-military complexes.
