He wrote this book because everyone was asking him about WHY Henry Ford fired him & how he got to be successful & how did he turn Chrysler around. However, he wanted these answers to be authentic and coming from the person directly involved in the questions. That is why he states:
“The truth is that, I wrote this book to set the record straight (and to keep my mind straight), to tell the story of my life at Ford and at Chrysler the way it really happened”
