Monument Wars by Kirk Savage
The National Mall in Washington, DC, is 'a great public space, as essential a part of the American landscape as the Grand Canyon,' according to architecture critic Paul Goldberger, but few realize how recent, fragile, and contested this achievement is. This title tells the Mall's engrossing story - its historic plan, the structures, and more.

" Washington Post Book World "An indispensable guide to the National Mall." Public Art Review
