Why read it?
1 author picked Dealmaking as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Guhan Subramanian, the author of this book is a triple threat: he’s superbly trained as a lawyer and an economist, he’s an experienced dealmaker, and he’s a gifted teacher.

From Danny's list on for negotiations that really matter.
