 good choice for students of field October 2, 2008
Good product for students in the emergency management and crisis management fields as a supplement to what is taught in the class room.
It is more than PR Book April 23, 2008
I like the perspective of the author regarding crisis management. I agree that it is a PR problem but it can not be solved by PR people. This book will give you a strategy to solve many problems in life. You do not have to be a multi-billion-dollar company CEO to implement the knowledge you will receive from this book. If I can re-name this book in my own way, I'd call "Perception Management" because that's exactly what it is all about in my point of view.
Now, the thing I don't like about this book is the cynical attitude of the owner towards public. Pretty much the author set the tone that public complain and public scrutiy always have a financial motive or dark motive behind the movement which I think it is not true. You can sense it by the way he has explained it at the conclusion of the book.
Overall it is a great reading material for any one who is pursuing a skill in Leadership.
Excellent Insights September 20, 2007
This book contains some very interesting and informative views on crisis handling. Whilst I don't buy into their generalised view of PR professionals (or the thinly veiled self promotion) I would certainly recommend it as a must read for communication professionals.
 Welcome to the 21st Century August 29, 2007
Mr. Dezenhall's book should be required reading in every public relations, business and government administration college programs. The concept of what is a 'crisis' has changed substantially in the past 10 years, especially with people communicating problems and/or urging others into action through their Web connections. In the 21st Century, our assumptions of how to deal with management crisis are outdated. Dezenhall's book is essential in helping administrators re-think their strategies.

I was expecting more from this book than I actually got. This book is filled with a lot of possible steps you can take but nothing procedural truly in terms of ways to analyze a situation and make an intelligent decision about how to react to a problem. It offers up a lot of options without telling you how to determine which option you might take in a situation. I wasnt expecting a decision tree. However I was expecting something more procedural and this book did not deliver.
