A shocking exposé of Volkswagens fraud by The New York Times reporter who covered the scandal.

---

In 2015, Volkswagen proudly reached its goal of surpassing Toyota as the worlds largest car manufacturer. Two months later, the EPA disclosed that Volkswagen had installed software that deceived emissions-testing mechanisms in 11 million cars. The scandal still looms large with news on additional fines and suits continuing to come through. In Faster, Higher, Farther, Jack Ewing rips the lid off the conspiracy. He describes VWs rise from the peoples car during the Nazi era to one of Germanys most prestigious and important global brands, touted for being green. He paints vivid portraits of Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Pi‰ch and chief executive Martin Winterkorn, arguing that their unremitting ambition drove employees, working feverishly in pursuit of impossible sales targets, to illegal methods. Faster, Higher, Farther reveals how the succeed-at-all-costs culture prevalent in modern boardrooms led to one of corporate historys farthest-reaching cases of fraud - with potentially devastating consequences.
