ABOUT
::-When
news of Volkswagen’s clean diesel fraud first broke in
September 2015, it sent shockwaves around the world.
Overnight, the company long associated with quality,
reliability and trust became a universal symbol of greed and
deception. Consumers were outraged, investors panicked, the
company embarrassed and facing bankruptcy.
As lawsuits and criminal investigations piled up, by August
2016 VW had settled with American regulators and car-owners
for $15 billion, with additional fines and claims still
looming.
In Faster, Higher, Farther, Jack Ewing rips the lid off the
scandal. He describes VW’s rise from “the people’s car” during
the Nazi era to one of Germany’s most prestigious and
important global brands, touted for being “green.” He paints
vivid portraits of Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piëch and
chief executive Martin Winterkorn, arguing that their
unremitting ambition drove employees, working feverishly in
pursuit of impossible sales targets, to illegal methods.
With unprecedented access to key players and a ringside seat
during the course of the legal proceedings, Faster, Higher,
Farther reveals how the succeed-at-all-costs culture prevalent
in modern boardrooms led to one of corporate history’s
farthest-reaching cases of fraud—with potentially devastating
consequences.
Reviews
A shocking and incredibly compelling exposé of
one of the great corporate scandals of all time... a
gripping tale. The book reads like a fast-paced thriller
as one revelation leads to another. As is so often the
case, truth can be so much more shocking than fiction.
