David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

Bestselling journalist from The New Yorker Malcolm Gladwell, inspired by the biblical story of David and Goliath, analyzes the phenomenon of the victory of the weak over the strong. Using examples of real people — a Hollywood millionaire who earned his first dollars at age 10 cleaning streets; a coach who used a special strategy to make a weak basketball team win; a doctor stubbornly searching for ways to fight childhood leukemia; a fearless civil-rights advocate at the heart of racial discrimination, and other brave people who managed to handle seemingly insurmountable problems — Gladwell shows that a weak person endowed with willpower, resourcefulness, and a keen sense of justice can defeat even the strongest opponent.
