Deets: It takes a special kind of genius to defeat a giant.

Young David did it with a stone, just as other underdogs of history—in fields as diverse as politics, business and science—have beaten gigantic odds to come out on top.

Malcolm Gladwell, the mind behind modern classics like Blink and Outliers, has an answer, and it’s contained in his bold new book, David and Goliath.
