Description
What to think of the harsh approach of American police that often leads to mass protests? How did Hitler manage to deceive so many foreign statesmen? Why was the largest investment fraud in U.S. history discovered only when the damage reached tens of billions of dollars? Why did Italian investigators think Amanda Knox had something to do with the murder of her roommate, despite the evidence suggesting otherwise? And what do all these seemingly unrelated stories have in common? It is that we often think understanding foreign people is easy, and we navigate our daily lives with this impression without deeper reflection. However, our judgment is all too often flawed, and the consequences can be tragic, not only for us but also for those around us. Gladwell's carefully argued opinions may not always be pleasant for readers, but they will penetrate deeper and undoubtedly cause them to view the world differently after reading the book.
