Breach of Trust: How to Prevent Business Reputations from Collapse by John J. Barr is a collection of two non-fiction books about “the descent of business reputations into disrepute and what causes it.” (page 8) Book One explores thirty industrial incidents that triggered corporate reputational crises and identifies the lessons they teach. The cases span a wide range of countries and industries, including oil, mining, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, aviation, food, automobile manufacturing, audit services, and banking, to name a few. Book Two builds on the cases described in Book One and includes a detailed analysis, a step-by-step plan to prevent and manage reputational crises, and useful resources and software that can assist businesses in this important pursuit.

John J. Barr’s Breach of Trust: How to Prevent Business Reputations from Collapse is praiseworthy on many counts. The well-researched and thoroughly referenced incidents of reputation damage impressed me from the first page. I also liked how the photographs and diagrams strengthened the stories, added realism, and emphasized the scale of the public impact of the incidents described. I am a corporate lawyer, and I liked how John demonstrated the differences between the advice of lawyers and management consultants when it comes to managing reputational damage. I particularly enjoyed the Loewen Group’s case, which is a great example of the impact of court battles on the reputation of a business. But what impressed me most was the analytical aspect. John dissected each incident into its elements and analyzed the public impact, the management response, and the ultimate consequences for the company.

Other than typographical errors, I cannot fault any aspect of this amazing book. It is perfectly structured and written in a concise and easy-to-read style. If this book were professionally edited, I would not hesitate to give it a perfect rating. But meanwhile, the typographical errors compel me to rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

I highly recommend this immensely useful book to business owners, senior managers, public relations specialists, business management students, and everyone interested in reputation management.
