<VV> "Crash Course" book

[Bruce Schug]

Over vacation I read a very interesting book, "Crash Course", The  
American Automobile Industry's Road from Glory to Disaster, by Pail  
Ingrassia; Random House, 2010.

This is very contemporary and follows the American Automobile industry  
from it's beginning to sometime in 2009.  I think the most recent item  
may have been when Penske's bid for Saturn failed.  Foreign  
manufacturers are covered as they affect the American industry.

This book tells of the greed, the poor decisions, the miscalculations,  
and the arrogance, and other things that got the "Big Three" in the  
mess it's in.  There is a mention of the Corvair and of course, Ralph  
Nader.  If you're interested in the industry as a whole, you'll enjoy  
this book.
