"The Great Race recounts the story of a century-long battle between automakers for market share, profit, and technological dominance--and a race to build the car of the future. The world’s great manufacturing juggernaut--the $2 trillion automotive industry--is in the throes of a revolution. Its future will include cars Henry Ford and Karl Benz could scarcely have imagined. They will drive themselves, won’t consume oil, and will come in radical shapes and sizes. But the path to that future is fraught. The top contenders are two traditional manufacturing giants, the United States and Japan, and a newcomer, China. Tillemann’s account is incisive and riveting. It explains how America bounced back in this global contest and what it will take to command the industrial future."--From publisher.
