David and Goliath

I've been a huge fan of Gladwell's writing since reading his first book, The Tipping Point, in 2000. I am always astounded by the way he thinks, the thought processes he employs to bring his point into focus. It never fails to impress me how he can take disparate events or situations and show their commonality, then turn them to show how they make his argument true.

In this book Gladwell uses his usual process to show that there are many times when we think a perceived weakness is an incredible strength and a debilitating event can be the catalyst of something incredible.
