A shocking, sobering story.
Kirkus Reviews
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
A damning indictment of corporate malfeasance and an accessible account of one of the most expensive business mistakes ever recorded.
Patrick McGee, Financial Times
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.
Guardian
Ewing reveals for the first time the true extent of the scandal.
The Times
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
A timely guide to the scandal.
The Economist
This book, which races along like Jensen Button, tells the inside story of the Volkswagen scandal. Ewing tells it quite beautifully.
Marcus Berkmann, Daily Mail
This timely book tracks the real roots of the so called Dieselgate scandal. A sobering picture of runaway ambition and hubris.
Car Mechanics magazine
Fascinating... a dramatic and significant story. When the dust settles, Ewing's definitive version will be the one to read.
The Sunday Business Post
Tells the story of one of the greatest corporate scandals of modern times. Vivid... essential reading for anyone interested in one of the most shocking scandals in motoring history.
Diesel Car Magazine
A great read.
Auto Express
An essential read... incisive drilling into the culture of an ambitious, successful but also flawed company.
