'Stunning. … Zartman's introductory essay is worth the price of admission all by itself - a remarkably analytical treatment of an exceptionally diverse set of phenomena that characterize negotiations across subject matter and cultures. The cases are interesting and well presented with lessons that make for easy take-aways. Anyone about to undertake a negotiation for their government should read and think about the lessons that are woven into every chapter of the book, but it will probably be those who have already experienced a protracted negotiation who will extract most from this impressive work.'
