About
We hear a lot of names associated with Alcoholics Anonymous - Jung, James, Rockefeller, Silkworth, Ignatia, Peabody, Shoemaker, Hazard and many others. “Key Players” is a book for those who'd like to know more about these contributors to AA history without having to buy and read 300-page biographies about each one. Learn more about early members like Burwell, Parkhurst, Snyder and Mann in 7- and 8-page chapters. Get the highlights of AA forerunners like the Washingtonians and the Water Street Mission. The foremost "key player" in AA history is Bill Wilson and we take a close look at his family background, troubled childhood, LSD experimentation, and alleged extramarital affairs. It's all pretty interesting.
