In this book, the editors, with 25 notable contributors, expand the knowledge of crisis management, focusing on case studies of high-profile events that have occurred in recent history.

The 'case bank,' which comprises the bulk of the book, is presented in four additional sections. The first deals with the development of crises and compares the infamous Watts riots with the 1992 L.A. riots.

The Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, a major figure in world politics and an ardent opponent of apartheid, was shot dead on the streets of Stockholm in February 1986. At the time of his death, Palme was deeply involved in Middle East diplomacy and was working under UN auspices to end the Iran–Iraq war.

Annika Bengtzon has spent her career telling stories that need to be heard. As a journalist, she’s always been at the front line of criminal reporting, alongside the investigating officers. And now a court case that she’s been reporting on – the savage murder of a homeless man – has begun to attract a lot of attention. With the stakes rising by the day, Annika is once again flung to the heart of a complex case. But nagging at the back of her mind is her sister’s mysterious absence. After a series of anxious text messages, she’s not heard another word. In the midst of a tense public situation, Annika’s own complicated past looks set to rear its head. Some voices refuse to be silenced.
Hans Dahlgren har i drygt ett halvsekel befunnit sig i maktens absoluta centrum. I sin bok I fem statsministrars tjänst tar han oss med bakom kulisserna i sitt arbete med de fem socialdemokratiska statsministrarna, från Olof Palme till Magdalena Andersson. Öppet och personligt berättar han om vardagsarbetet i Regeringskansliet, kriser som skakat om hela vårt samhälle och resan genom storpolitiken, både i Sverige och internationellt. Han ser tillbaka på pandemin, tsunamikatastrofen, morden på en statsminister och en utrikesminister, och på hur Sverige sadlade om och blev medlem först i EU och sedan i Nato. Insiktsfullt och engagerat beskriver Hans Dahlgren en lång epok i svensk historia.
