ON A CLEAR Day You Can See General Motors, by J. Patrick Wright (Sidgwick and Jackson, £2.95), is a study in disenchantment. The author is a journalist who tells the story of John Z. De Lorean and his erstwhile employer.
De Lorean controlled all General Motors' car and commercial vehicle operations when he parted from the company in 1973 and was in a position to know what went on. He was at odds with other top men through a clash of personalities, and his attack on GM's morality, business acumen and general competence is scathing. He describes his highly placed former colleagues as moral men who were forced to make immoral decisions.
Now he is doing his own moral thing in Ulster, and on a clear day you can see him using millions of pounds of British taxpayers' money in building sports cars to export to America.
