| Summary: | Two sets of skills are necessary to get the truth from someone: interpersonal skills (to get the facts) and a second group of skills for assessing whether the facts actually fit together (whether they are true) and for identifying the emotions that shaped them. In this book, top intelligence experts from the worlds of espionage, business, and law enforcement reveal how they get the information they need and present key tools, including: a system to vet sources; eight conversation motivators that help drive toward the truth; techniques to turn a hostile source into a cooperative one; the means to control the sequence of a conversation; and getting the truth through email or on the phone. Whether the reader's aim is to grill suspects and witnesses, help someone with an urgent need, figure out who is lying or cheating, or upgrade the ability to be honest with oneself, this book will show how to do it. --
