"The way that the kingdom of Cyden deals with the threats posed by its
neighbors, the Apanites, illustrates more clearly what we mean by a 'mutual
gains approach to negotiation,' than a hundred repetitions of the theory could
accomplish on their own. The ability of King Spirus, and his clever son, Anthos,
to provide facilitative leadership in a time of crisis, is nothing short of brilliant."

—Professor Lawrence Susskind, Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School

"The Sword & The Spirit is an easy read. An interesting tale that reveals key
negotiating principles throughout. All levels of employees, from staff to senior
managers, could benefit from these principles. Certainly, I am planning on
buying a supply for all of our managers."
