Under the Perfect Sun is the book on San Diego history unlike any previously written, presenting an alternative civic history of the city which "deconstructs the mythology of 'America's finest city' and exposes its true undergirdings of militarism, municipal corruption, racism, and economic inequality."

Mayhew and Miller, along with deceased co-author and urban theorist Mike Davis document the secret history of the city’s domineering elites, chronicle the history of protest in San Diego, and forefronts the voices of working people, the experiences of residents of color, and new immigrants.
