- catalog abstract ""In March 1996, attorney Lawrence D. Mungin sat calmly at the plain wooden plaintiff's table in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. But he wasn't trying this case for a client. Mungin was the client. He had sued his employer, the large corporate law firm of Katten Muchin & Zavis. His claim was race discrimination ..." "He was a poor kid who grew up believing that if you played by the rules and worked hard, you'd succeed. And for a while he did. Larry Mungin's pursuit of the American Dream took him from a Queens housing project to Harvard Law School and to the Washington, D.C., office of Katten Muchin, a blue-chip Chicago law firm, where he worked toward achieving a coveted partnership. Everything was in place; he'd spent his whole life preparing to make it in the white world, and now he was ready to reap the rewards. But instead of becoming a partner, Mungin became the plaintiff in a racial discrimination suit that would rock the legal world and turn his life into a struggle for survival. What went wrong? What turned the American Dream into an American nightmare?" "In this eloquent and suspenseful work of nonfiction, Paul M. Barrett, who once shared a dorm room with Mungin at Harvard, takes you into the minefields of corporate America and inside our legal system on one man's journey across racial lines."--Jacket.".
