The inside story of the epic turnaround of Ford Motor Company under the leadership of CEO Alan Mulally.

At the end of 2008, Ford Motor Company was just months away from running out of cash. With the auto industry careening toward ruin, Congress offered all three Detroit automakers a bailout. General Motors and Chrysler grabbed the taxpayer lifeline, but Ford decided to save itself.

Under the leadership of charismatic CEO Alan Mulally, Ford had already put together a bold plan to unify its divided global operations, transform its lackluster product lineup, and overcome a dys-functional culture of infighting, backstabbing, and excuses. It was an extraordinary risk, but it was the only way the Ford family--America's last great industrial dynasty--could hold on to their company.

Mulally and his team pulled off one of the great-est comebacks in business history. As the rest of Detroit collapsed, Ford went from the brink of bankruptcy to being the most profitable automaker in the world. American Icon is the compelling, behind-the-scenes account of that epic turnaround.

In one of the great management narratives of our time, Hoffman puts the reader inside the boardroom as Mulally uses his celebrated Business Plan Review meet-ings to drive change and force Ford to deal with the painful realities of the American auto industry.

Hoffman was granted unprecedented access to Ford's top executives and top-secret company documents. He spent countless hours with Alan Mulally, Bill Ford, the Ford family, former executives, labor leaders, and company directors. In the bestselling tradition of Too Big to Fail and The Big Short, American Icon is narrative nonfiction at its vivid and colorful best.

Soft, Cool, and Comfortable for Everyday Sleep
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These pillows feel soft and comfortable without being too firm. I like that they stay cool during the night, and the cotton fabric gives them a nice hotel-style feel. So far, they’ve kept their shape well and feel great for everyday use.”

Soft and Restful Sleep
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
I’ve been using this set of pillows and I really like the comfort they provide. They are soft to the touch but still offer the right support for my neck and head, helping me sleep more relaxed and wake up without tension. They also feel cool throughout the night, making my rest more comfortable and uninterrupted. I love this pillows!
