No one knows this better than Eric Dezenhall and John Weber, who help companies, politicians, and celebrities get out of various kinds of trouble. In this brutally honest and eye-opening guide, they take you behind the scenes of some of the biggest public relations successes--and debacles--of modern business, politics, and entertainment.You'll discover: - Why the 1982 Tylenol cyanide-poisoning case is always cited as the best model for damage control, when in fact it has no relevance to the typical corporate crisis.- Why Audi never fully recovered from driver accusations of ''sudden acceleration''--despite evidence that nothing was wrong with their cars.- What the crises faced by George W. Bush, Jim McGreevey, Sammy Sosa, Lance Armstrong, Martha Stewart, Coca-Cola, and the Catholic Church have in common . . . and what they don't. This new revised edition includes an additional chapter ''Our Permanent Leakocracy'' including information about WikiLeaks and what that notorious case means for business.
