Title: Not up to par
Product review: This book could have been interesting, and some of Iacocca's suggestions and ideas are intriguing. The problem, however, is that he cannot get past his partisanship. The first chapter, for instance, details his ideal leadership qualities and why Bush does not live up to them. Unfortunately, he does not support his claims with a factual analysis, but, rather, unsupported opinion--even if many of his claims could be supported, he leaves them as stand-alone "facts," which hurts his intentions. He claims that all Americans should--indeed, must, if they call themselves patriots--be outraged at the current government, yet he fails to support that opinion. He simply accepts opinion and conjecture as fact and moves on from there. Don't get me wrong; I do think that some of his ideas are quite worthwhile. But his political bias interferes with his attempts at providing a straightforward, rational analysis of leadership.
