Iacocca: An Autobiography Audiobook (Free)

He’s an American star, a straight-shooting businessman who brought Chrysler back in the brink and along the way became a media superstar, newsmaker, and a man many acquired urged to perform for president.

The son of Italian immigrants, Lee Iacocca rose spectacularly through the ranks of Ford Engine Company to become its president, only to be toppled eight years later on inside a power play that should have shattered him. But Lee Iacocca didn’t get mad, he got even. He led a battle for Chrysler’s survival that made his name a symbol of integrity, know-how, and guts for millions of Americans.

In his classic hard-hitting style, he tells us how he changed the auto industry in the 1960s by creating the phenomenal Mustang. He goes behind the moments for a look at Henry Ford’s reign of intimidation and manipulation. He recounts the miraculous rebirth of Chrysler from near personal bankruptcy to repayment of its $1.2 billion authorities loan so early that Washington didn’t know how to money the check.
