Probably more of a specialist academic book than for a general readership, but at the same time, good broad overview of corporate bribery and corruption. Plenty of case studies, international context, and interviews with various experts and stakeholders.
Some of the legal details and interpretations are inevitably a bit dry, but they also reinforce a rigorous, realistic analysis of how to try to promote anti-corruption under challenging conditions.
As ever when I read a book on a specific topic from over 10 years ago, I wonder how things have changed for better or for worse since the book was published. The authors concede that some level of bribery and corruption will always be inevitable, but international coordination and stakeholder pressure and willingness to tackle it seem to have increased. One main focus of the book is the development and passing of the UK Bribery Act 2010, although laws can take years to show any clear effects and prosecutions.
In any case, the authors make a powerful case that resisting bribery is good for both commercial and ethical reasons!
