DETROIT ? If you’re looking for a great Holiday read for that auto enthusiast in your life, you might want to check out a new book co authored by Detroit-area auto writer Lillie Guyer. The book is called, “Outraged: How Detroit and the Wall Street Car Czars Killed the American Dream.”
The book is a revealing new auto industry book sure to reignite the controversy surrounding the battle between ?Main Street? automotive dealers and the entities that engineered their demise, including the U.S. Auto Task Force.
The story is an inspiring, vivid account of the uphill struggle to regain the economic rights of dealer owners, going from the auto giants? corporate offices to courtrooms, and from Congress to the steps of the White House.
At its heart, Outraged represents the thousands who had their lives shattered and dreams destroyed when the ?Detroit Two? (General Motors and Chrysler) collapsed in the economic upheaval of 2009. On a larger scale, it portrays the power of ordinary people who stand up for what they believe is right, or it?s reverse.
Tamara Darvish, auto insider and vice president of DARCARS Automotive in Maryland, and Guyer candidly reveal the ?murder? of the American dream, from the perspective of an entrepreneur who was affected by the automotive industry bailout during the government-ordered corporate restructurings.
Darvish was a key participant in the 2009 drama as she and her Committee to Restore Dealer Rights co-leaders exposed the ?big lie? behind the punishing corporate actions. Guyer has covered the auto industry for various publications for more than 20 years.
?The lesson for all is that it can ? and did ? happen here and could happen again. Every private citizen ? especially entrepreneurs ? in America should be concerned about what happened to dealers,? says Darvish.
Outraged breaks the mold of traditional business storytelling. It is based on thousands of e-mails, live interviews, legal transcripts, congressional proceedings, court documents, letters and even scraps of notes passed along by people who wanted to see justice done.
