4 stars
This book explores various crisis that a country could face, and be devastated by, and how certain countries have not only survived the crisis but have flourished afterwards. As an alum of a Public Affairs graduate program, this feels like something that I would have read during the course of my studies. The case studies have a pragmatic center which I really appreciate. None of the leaders profiled are perfect, or made one hundred percent perfect decisions, but they did manage to keep their country afloat during extremely rough circumstances. The author does a remarkable job summarizing the conflict, the players involved and their decision-making in a way that is succinct and fairly easy to read. I’m sure experts could find holes in his arguments (as experts tend to do) but I thought this was an interesting look at policy made during crisis and how it can be used under normal circumstances. I received a copy of this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for an honest review.
