Author Kim Eisler, whose previous works have profiled Justice William Brennan and examined the collapse of Finley Kumble, has a new book set for publication in a week or so. In "Masters of the Game: Inside the World's Most Powerful Law Firm," Eisler shines the spotlight on Williams & Conn0lly. Here's a brief description from amazon.com:
In Masters of the Game, Eisler sets out to demonstrate how the disciples of Edward Bennett Williams went beyond anyone’s expectations and came to occupy key roles in American culture and business. In the last ten years of his life, Williams, the founder of Williams and Connolly, often said he was building not just a law firm but a monument. Masters of the Game is not only about a law firm, but about how the philosophy and practices of this particular law firm have spread out beyond Washington to dominate business, finance, sports and the American psyche itself through its influence with past, present and future political, corporate and media figures.
