Lawyer's Lawyer: The Life of John W. Davis

Lawyer's Lawyer is a vibrant portrait of the most renowned corporate and constitutional attorney of this century. John W. Davis was, among other things, the most distinguished apologist for the cause of segregation in the historic Brown v. Board of Education case; Ambassador to England when questions of the Versailles Treaty, and Irish Independence were current; and the Democratic presidential candidate against Calvin Coolidge in 1924. William Harbaugh's biography not only reveals the actions and thoughts of this highly complex individual, but also presents a unique inside look at the American experience in the first half of the 20th century.
