Contrarian, in-your-face advice from two masters of crisis management Much of the conventional wisdom about damage control and crisis PR is self-serving, self- congratulatory, self-deceivingand flat out wrong. And no one knows it better than Eric Dezenhall and John Weber, who have helped countless companies, politicians, and celebrities get out of various kinds of trouble. If youre facing a lawsuit, a sex scandal, a defective product, or allegations of insider trading, other PR experts will tell you to stay positive, get your message out, and everything will be just fine.

The Tylenol case isn't the model for every crisis
Know the difference between a nuisance, a problem, a crisis, and a marketplace assault
Blame and resentment
Offense wins, defense loses
Cloak every argument in a principle
Preach to the choir
Damage control means more than having to say you're sorry
A crisis well managed is a tale of redemption
When you can't make them like you, make them stop attacking you
Dissuasion
Do the media's job for them
When the judge and jury need to know
Write your own case history
Know when to fold them
The best case studies are the ones you'll never hear about
In crisis, personality trumps planning
Know whose side your team is on
The crisis in your future
