"As an oil and gas lawyer, I love the law and the oil and gas industry equally. This book captures all of the reasons why. The book describes a monumental battle in which a famous (or infamous) Texas oil man fought a lawsuit over his contention that he was cheated out of his interest in a major oil discovery. It is told from the perspective of the lead trial lawyer in the case and details the ups and downs that transpired throughout the litigation."
