Chip Jacobs

    Chip Jacobs ist ein Bestsellerautor und Journalist der Los Angeles Times, dessen Werke sich mit den Schattenseiten der kalifornischen Geschichte und Gesellschaft auseinandersetzen.

Jacobs' unverwechselbare Stimme verbindet sorgfältige Recherche mit einem scharfen Blick für das Dramatische und enthüllt die komplexen Motivationen hinter bedeutenden Ereignissen und die oft unsichtbaren Kräfte, die Gemeinschaften prägen.
