Legendary attorney Edward Bennet Williams was arguably the best trial lawyer ever to practice. Now, for the first time, best-selling author Evan Thomas takes us into the courtrooms of Williams greatest performances as he defends "Godfather" Frank Costello, Jimmy Hoffa, Frank Sinatra, The Washington Post, and others, as well as behind the scenes where the witnesses are coached, the traps set, and the deals cut.

In addition to being a lawyer of unprecedented influence, Williams was also an important Washington insider, privy to the secrets of Americas most powerful men. Thomas tells the truth behind the stories that made Williams one of the most talked about public figures of his time, including Williams role in the publication of the Pentagon Papers and the possibility that Williams may have been Watergates Deep Throat. Based on Thomass exclusive access to Williamss papers, "The Man to See" is an unprecedented look at the strategies and influence of this exceptional man.
