A Vital Lesson For All Americans In Business

".....A Corporate Tragedy, the startling and revealing book that brings sharply into focus the story of one company's disastrous mismanagement.... and A VITAL LESSON FOR ALL AMERICANS IN BUSINESS who think --- like the ill-fated Harvester did --- that it could never happen to them...." -from Barbara Marsh, A Corporate Tragedy [from the back of jacket]

Wow

Having had aunts and uncles go through the great downfall of this corporation and being a current employee of the old IH, I felt it necessary to read this book and was not disappointed. Most people may find it dry and boring but I found it very informative. I can now understand what brought down a great company back when I was too young to understand. Bravo to the author.

The bigger they are the harder they fall

A very readable book, every bit as captivating as 'Barbarians At the Gate' and another example where truth can be more intriguing than fiction. Any person, with even a casual interest in International Harvester, Caterpillar or John Deere, will find this book every bit as interesting...
