Through meticulous reporting, New York Times correspondent Jack Ewing documents why VW felt compelled to install defeat devices in diesel vehicles that unlawfully lowered CO2 levels during emissions testing, and how the fraud was committed, covered up, and finally detected. Faster, Higher, Farther is a briskly written account of unrivaled corporate greed. Updated with the latest information and a new afterword by the author.
