This methodologically and theoretically well-grounded book on former Washington, DC Mayor Anthony Williams is a welcomed addition to the very small number of scholarly works on the Nation's Capital. The effulgence of the book hinges upon how secondary and primary data sources are marshaled into a coherent unity to explicate Williams as a man and his work as a quite skilled administrator, the challenges with which he had to contend notwithstanding. The book is a must read for every undergraduate or graduate student, professor, and practitioner in the fields of American State and Local Government and Public Policy and Administration.
