WW Norton & Co Faster Higher Farther The Volkswagen Scandal
Book SynopsisA shocking expose of Volkswagen's fraud by the New York Times reporter who covered the scandal.Trade Review"This will go down in history books as a great corporate scandal , but the story told by the New York Times reporter Jack Ewing…is also much more than that. It’s a rich history of a company whose cars, for better and worse, have touched millions of lives, a character study of a brilliant but deeply flawed leader, and a case study in how a corporate culture can turn toxic." -- Bethany McLean - New York Times Book Review"Faster, Higher, Farther: The Volkswagen Scandal takes readers through the combination of pressures that produced what may be the biggest corporate scandal ever, detailing the company’s personalities and the history behind the saga with fluency and wit." -- The Atlantic"A shocking and incredibly compelling exposé of one of the great corporate scandals of all time....reads like a fast-paced thriller." -- The Guardian"A damning indictment of corporate malfeasance and…an accessible account of one of the most expensive business mistakes ever recorded." -- Patrick McGee - Financial Times"Exhaustive." -- Richard Epstein - Forbes"Perversely engaging." -- Barron's"A fascinating exposé....Ewing’s compelling prose makes his book read like entertainment more than education and the story of Volkswagen’s fall…is a study in corporate hubris." -- Publishers Weekly"It is a corporate scandal to rival Enron and Lehman Brothers....Ewing weaves a conspiratorial tale of corporate greed run amok. Capturing the public fascination with craven financial scandals, and with a movie in the works, Ewing’s sordid saga is the latest addition to the history of corporate fraud." -- Booklist (starred review)"A shocking, sobering story—and, given the current antiregulatory mood, one likely to be repeated." -- Kirkus"Meticulously chronicles ‘one of the greatest corporate scandals ever’." -- Library Journal
