Description

The fascinating story of Volkswagen's success and near collapse in America. Journalist and auto industry expert David Kiley tells the complete story of the rise, fall, and comeback of Volkswagen. He traces the company's history from Ferdinand Porsche's original design for the Beetle, through the Nazi era, up to the Beetle's popularity in the 1960s. Kiley explores the reasons for VW's decline in the 1970s and 1980s, and details the company's phenomenal comeback in the late 1990s.
