From The Inside Flap:
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
From the shattered fragments of DeLorean's acts and dreams, investigative journalist Hillel Levin - who began to look closely at the truth behind the image a year before anyone else did - has pieced together a fascinating picture of the man behind this contemporary myth. FRom the beginning, DeLorean's flight was fueled by a remarkable talent for financial legerdemain and corporate intrigue. Through meticulous research and interviews with the players in DeLorean's inner circle, Levin tracks the court cases and the lawsuits that accompanied his ascent, discentangles his convoluted and bizarre business schemes, explores the labyrinth of holding companies and paper corporations that channeled huge sums of other people's money into his personal control, and reconstructs the saga of the gull-winged car that, until the last, De Lorean believed would rise, Phoenix-like, from the ashes. Authoritatively researched from Detroit to Belfast, packed with new information, GRAND DELUSIONS is a riveting, uniquely American story, and a cautionary tale of genius misapplied in the service of a run away ego.
