The United States of Toyota by Peter M. DeLorenzo 2007, hardbound, 282 pages De Lorenzo was brought up in a Detroit automotive corporation family and has spent his life in the auto field, mostly in the advertising side. This book was written before the 'cash for clunkers' program, before GM stood for Government Motors, and before FIAT bought Chrysler. It is a collection of his newspaper articles and web site blurbs citing what De Lorenzo feels was wrong with the U.S. auto industry. Some of the articles are long and contradictory, but I found by reading the first several paragraphs I got the gust of the idea he was presenting. I particularly found the chapter about Carroll Shelby entertaining. -- Bill Mennell  Back to Books List ©2019 Chicagoland MG Club, All rights reserved.
