Faster, Higher, Farther: How One of the World's Largest Automakers Committed a Massive and Stunning Fraud - Paperback

by Jack Ewing (Author)

Faster, Higher, Farther chronicles a corporate scandal that rivals those at Enron and Lehman Brothers--one that will cost Volkswagen more than $22 billion in fines and settlements. Through meticulous reporting, New York Times correspondent Jack Ewing documents why VW felt compelled to install "defeat devices" in diesel vehicles that unlawfully lowered CO2 levels during emissions testing, and how the fraud was committed, covered up, and finally detected. Faster, Higher, Farther is a briskly written account of unrivaled corporate greed. Updated with the latest information and a new afterword by the author.
