lacocca: An Autobiography made publishing history, breaking bestseller records throughout the world. Now the nation's most outspoken corporate giant and American success story returns with a provocative new book, as forthright and candid as ever. Talking Straight is for the millions who read-and reread-lacocca, as well as those who will meet Lee lacocca in these pages for the first time. Here is lacocca at his best-talking straight and hard about the most pressing concerns of our lives....
"Talking Straight offers the same breezy, no-nonsense style that made lacocca so appealing even to nonbusiness readers.... This time he's offering an even wider range of observations-on everything from raising kids and growing older to what's wrong with politics, trade, Wall Street, the Reagan administration, and the American psyche....He also offers eight commandments of management....The point of this book, he writes, is that fundamental public issues must be addressed-and soon.' -Business Week
