Editorial Reviews
-William Deverell, California Institute of Technology
"Clark Davis has painstakingly peeled away much of the social veneer that obscures 'company men' from historical analysis."
Review
""In a prewar era popularly associated with corruption ('Chinatown') and Hollywood, Los Angeles actively put together a white-collar establishment of team players, go-getters and strait-lacers." -- Tim Ferguson, Wall Street Journal
"Business, labor, and gender historians will place Company Men with the best new business histories." -- Carole Srole, Journal of American History
"A valuable contribution... [an] analysis of the corporate side of creating a white-collar work force [that] historians of business will find a valuable addition to the literature, while students of Los Angeles will welcome [as] a new study that adds significantly to the record of the city's past." -- Business History Review
"A lively, well-researched, and well-argued study of office work that also illuminates local history." -- Sharon Hartman Strom, American Historical Review
