Synopsis
When the US Department of Justice brought an antitrust lawsuit against AT&T in 1974, the telecommunications giant held a monopoly on phone service throughout the country. Over the following decade, an army of lawyers, executives, politicians, and judges spent countless hours clashing over what amounted to the biggest corporate breakup in American history. From boardroom to courtroom, Steve Coll untangles the myriad threads of this complex and critical case and gives readers “an excellent behind-the-scenes look” at the human drama involved in the remaking of an entire industry (The Philadelphia Inquirer).
Hailed by the New York Times Book Review as “rich, intricate and convincing,” The Deal of the Century is the definitive narrative of a momentous turning point in the way America does business.
A New York Times–bestselling author’s “superbly reported” account of the dismantling of the world’s largest corporation (The Washington Post).
Written by the two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Ghost Wars and Private Empire, The Deal of the Century chronicles the decade-long war for control of AT&T.

Reviews
Crafted with color and drama by an ex-Washington Post staffer, this solid account of the complex events leading to the 1982 AT&T breakup is hard to put down. Coll relates personality, politics, business, and law to bureaucratic maneuvering within and between the government and AT&T. He also assesses the consequences. Based on interviews and documents, the book is a series of short, episodic chapters. Given the effects of the breakup on the consumer, and Coll's stylish telling, the book promises to be broadly appealing. Recommended for academic and public libraries.
