I met the author in person and he's a very interesting individual who has some very good perspectives on the dynamics of China business. His book is written in a "case-study" format: each chapter is a story about a company and how it went well or horribly wrong. There is a bullet point summary at the end of each chapter summarizing all the chapter's insights. Very good reference for international executives who work and/or negotiate with Chinese business and government leaders on a regular basis.
