In the spring of 1973, John Z. De Lorean stunned the business world by handing in his resignation as a Vice- President of General Motors. His rise had been meteoric. By his mid-forties he was their most brilliant and flam- boyant young executive, earning $650,000 a year and destined to become the next president of the industrial giant. But the higher he rose, the more disillusioned he became. When he saw what really went on along Executive Row-the corruption, the mismanagement, the total irresponsibility at every level-he decided the climb to the top was no longer worth it. He got out.
This is John Z. De Lorean's story, the unprecedented and unforgettable exposé of America's most powerful supercorporation-the book that blows the lid off the king of carmakers.
