Volkswagen: a Car for the People / A Success Story Feature

Volkswagen: a Car for the People ("Volkswagen: ein Wagen fuer das Volk") / A Success Story ("Eine Geschichte des Erfolgs") by Marc Evan Nonnenkamp is a comprehensive corporate and business history written by an avid Volkswagen enthusiast and owner with past familial ties to the Volkswagen business group - his aunt worked for Volkswagen of Canada for almost 40 years, and with Mr. J. Stewart Perkins who eventually became the President of Volkswagen of America in the USA. The book includes a discussion of past and current Volkswagen group brands (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Scania, MAN, Porsche and joint-venture partners from around the globe such as FAW, SAIC-Nanjing and GAZ-Steyr) as well as the group's leading position within the contemporary automotive industry. At the end of World War Two in 1945 Volkswagen appeared to have a bleak future as did its devastated German homeland. The company became a leading player in Germany's postwar economic recovery and now outperforms all other automotive groups combined in spite of a global economic downturn. Read about the unique engineering-driven corporate culture which makes this success a reality—a topic of interest to Volkswagen enthusiasts in particular, automotive enthusiasts in general and to all people concerned with global economics at large. Among major global automakers, only Volkswagen of Germany and Hyundai-Kia of South Korea avoided the massive and wasteful taxpayer-funded government bailouts prevalent throughout North America, Asia and Western Europe!

Porsche: The Rally Story Feature

Porsche rally history is a subject that any rally fan will find compelling. Written by lifelong Porsche enthusiast, Laurence Meredith, who is an acknowledged authority on the activities of the Zuffenhausen company, the book is a comprehensive study of Porsche. From the company's earliest days in the 1930s, the book gives a brief history of the glorious Auto-Union Grand Prix cars designed by Prof. Porsche before detailing the miseries and triumphs of the company in the aftermath of war.  Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, Porsche struggled to survive, but unshakeable faith in the design of the 356 led to success in both circuit racing and rallying. With the advent of the 911 in 1964, Porsche had produced a car with the potential to win sporting events at all levels. The 911's sporting record speaks for itself, and demonstrates that the car is the finest and most versatile of all sports cars. Meredith's book is written with affection, appreciation and authority - and criticism where it is due - and will make an invaluable addition to any rallying or Porsche enthusiast's library.
