Overhaul : An Insider's Account of the Obama Administration's Emergency Rescue of the Auto Industry
Overview
"Steven Rattner shows a journalist's eye for detail . . . Overhaul is a feast of political and financial intrigue." -- Detroit Free Press In Overhaul , Steven Rattner delivers an inside account of the Obama administration's bold bid to save the auto industry. From his vantage point at the helm of the intervention, Rattner crafts a tightly plotted narrative of political brinksmanship, corporate incompetence, and personalities under pressure in a high-stakes drama of Washington and Detroit. He also explains the tough choices he and his team made to keep Chrysler and GM in operation--while working against the clock in the face of intense lobbying from staunch Democratic allies and vocal opposition from free-market partisans.

" An] exhaustive, detailed account . . . Overhaul will certainly be on the bookshelf of every bankruptcy attorney in the country, and become required reading for public policy and law students." -- New York Times "Unquestionably the best book so far about the Obama presidency." -- Slate With a new epilogue
