An interesting and to the point history of the birth and rise of Tempe, Phoenix's neighbor to the east and the home of Arizona State University. It is a bit dated- the history largely stops in the early 1980s, but that is to be expected from a book published in 1990!
"Tempe: Arizona's Crossroads" paints a rose tinted narrative with a broad brush, largely ignoring the challenges Tempe has faced in its history.
Despite this, the book is still worth a read. It is full of interesting information that can help anyone get a sense of how this city came to be. I recommend it to anyone looking to get a sense of the Tempe's relatively short but storied past- through 1989 that is!
