Synopsis:

What does an employee attempting to get a raise have in common with a businessman in the midst of making an acquisition, a lawyer representing an accused murderer, and a diplomat seeking world peace?

"Upper Hand" shares that expertise by detailing the strategies that are key to negotiating successfully. Drawn from personal interviews with the world's best negotiators in the fields of business, diplomacy, law, labor, sports, and real estate, "Upper Hand" includes personal anecdotes, of both negotiating successes and failures, that make the lessons come alive.
