Here is the blurb from the dust jacket:
"I learned about the strength you can get from a close family life. I learned to keep going, even in bad times. I learned not to despair, even when my world was failing apart. I learned that there are no free lunches. And I learned about the value of hard work. In the end, you've got to be productive. That's what made this country great-and that's what's going to make us great again."-Lee Iacocca
He's an American legend, the tough-talking, straight- shoo ti ng businessman who brought Chrysler back from the brink and in the process became a media celebrity, a newsmaker, and a man many have urged to run for President. Now Lee Iacocca opens his personal files on an extraordinary life of survival and triumph in Iacocca-the outspoken, headline-making autobiography of a man who has come to represent not only one of this country's most powerful and successful executives, but the living embodiment of the American dream.
The son of Italian immigrants, Lee Iacocca rose spectacularly through the ranks of the Ford Motor Company to become its president, only to be knocked down from the top eight years later in a devastating power play that almost shattered him. But Lee Iacocca didn't get mad, he got even. As the Chief Executive Officer of the Chrysler Corporation, he transformed a dying company into a booming success by leading a fight for survival that has become almost legendary-and made his name a symbol of integrity that millions of Americans know and trust.
Now, in his own unique, hard-hitting style, Lee Iacocca gives us the facts on:
In the same blunt and authoritative voice that declared: "If you can find a better car-buy it," Iacocca speaks out on what's wrong with the way America does business and why we're now losing the game in world trade. Lee Iacocca believes that America can regain its world preeminence, for this is a man who loves his country, who heads the project to restore the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island-symbols of the opportunity the United States offered his immigrant parents.
Iacocca is a fascinating self-portrait of a uniquely American life, an invaluable addition to business literature, which, like its subject, is inspiring, provocative, and one-of-a-kind
