Mark Palmer – författare

In Breaking the Real Axis of Evil, ambassador Mark Palmer has the gumption to argue what diplomats and political leaders dare not speak: that global peace will not be achieved until democracies replace the world's remaining dictatorships. We know that these dictators are at the root of terrorism and war. Under their stony gaze, millions have gone to their deaths, a great tidal wave of refugees has swept across the planet, and nations have been driven into poverty, famine, and despair. Drawing on over 25 years of extensive diplomatic experience, Ambassador Palmer asks us to embrace a bold vision of a world made safe by democracy. This is the story of the last 46 dictators, the strategy and tactics to oust them, and the need to empower the people of every nation to control their own destinies.

'An invaluable, refreshing return to the essentials of marketing - a great and useful read'Sophie Devonshire, CEO of The Marketing SocietyWhether you're in a huge business, a start-up or have a side-hustle, marketing matters. 'Strength of brand/marketing' is most frequently cited by business analysts (at 79%) as critical to a firm's success.But marketing is in a state of chaos. Most people with marketing in their job title have never studied it. Meanwhile, in too many media posts and agencies, pseudo-experts cherry-pick opinions and peddle marketing misinformation to give a snake-oil pitch that marketing is all about keeping up with change.Grasping marketing shouldn't induce scepticism, fear or confusion. Mark Palmer acts as your trusted and experienced guide, demystifying the jargon, cutting through the clutter and helping you navigate your own refreshing journey towards what smarter and better marketing can be.The 'Work Smarter' series provides shortcuts, tips and life-hacks for the development of essential business skills. The books bring together accomplished industry experts who have learned their trades at the coalface. They teach the skills ambitious businesspeople need in order to tip the playing field in their favour. It is the pirate equivalent of business advice; the antidote to conventional wisdom; 'smarter' practice over 'best practice'.
