Compared to the other crisis management books, it’s definitely a much easier book to understand. They have used good hypothetical scenarios and explained how to solve them in a straight forward manner while also drawing examples from real world crisis.

O livro faz a gente lembrar algumas coisas do tempo da faculdade. Vale como lembrança de que algumas ferramentas existem, mas, como sempre, temos que ter ciência de que cada caso é um caso e que essas ferramentas são apenas formas de sairmos da inércia. Nada de solução mágica nem de panaceia. A análise é de cada um.

not a bad book. Typically for Harvard Business Press - a lot of real stories in example. A little bit of hard to read for a long time, but definitely worth it :)
