The Art of War, Peace and Palaver Paul Brennan

When the Godfather said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer," he was quoting Sun Tzu, a Chinese Warlord who wrote the Art of War 2,500 years ago. This book will give you the foresight to avoid or minimise disputes in the first place, which is often the most effective but least popular option. It not only covers court actions, but fights with government departments, multinationals, club committees, your spouse, neighbours and all sorts of other people and organisations that wind you up. If a Chinese Warlord could temper decisive and sometimes highly aggressive action with planning and caution, so can you pause to consider the consequences of your actions and plan accordingly. Itis so often the difference between victory and defeat. This book combines the qualities of a useful book on litigation with wry humour and the odd belly laugh. Whether you are a corporate warrior, small business owner or professional advisor, it will keep you amused, while providing you with insights and the understanding to manage risk.
