Gladwell, Malcolm, 1963-2014
Books
Why do underdogs succeed so much more than we expect? How do the weak outsmart the strong? In 'David and Goliath' Malcolm Gladwell takes us on a scintillating and surprising journey through the hidden dynamics that shape the balance of power between the small and the mighty. From the conflicts in Northern Ireland and Vietnam, through the tactics of civil rights leaders and the problem of privilege, Gladwell demonstrates how we misunderstand the true meaning of advantage and disadvantage.
