The inside story of the epic turnaround of Ford Motor Company under the leadership of CEO Alan Mulally.

At the end of 2008, Ford Motor Company was just months away from running out of cash. With the auto industry careening toward ruin, Congress offered all three Detroit automakers a bailout. General Motors and Chrysler grabbed the taxpayer lifeline, but Ford decided to save itself.

Under the leadership of charismatic CEO Alan Mulally, Ford had already put together a bold plan to unify its divided global operations, transform its lackluster product lineup, and overcome a dys-functional culture of infighting, backstabbing, and excuses. It was an extraordinary risk, but it was the only way the Ford family--America's last great industrial dynasty--could hold on to their company.

Mulally and his team pulled off one of the great-est comebacks in business history. As the rest of Detroit collapsed, Ford went from the brink of bankruptcy to being the most profitable automaker in the world. American Icon is the compelling, behind-the-scenes account of that epic turnaround.

In one of the great management narratives of our time, Hoffman puts the reader inside the boardroom as Mulally uses his celebrated Business Plan Review meet-ings to drive change and force Ford to deal with the painful realities of the American auto industry.

Hoffman was granted unprecedented access to Ford's top executives and top-secret company documents. He spent countless hours with Alan Mulally, Bill Ford, the Ford family, former executives, labor leaders, and company directors. In the bestselling tradition of Too Big to Fail and The Big Short, American Icon is narrative nonfiction at its vivid and colorful best.

Bottle opens/sprays fine - READ
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
For those of you who said the bottle does not spray-- look closely on the top of the sprayer nozzle THERE IS the word LOCK with an arrow by it. (It needs to be clearer.) IT WORKS if you turn in the direction of the arrow half way around. IT WON'T OPEN UNLESS YOU TURN the top in THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW so it unlocks. You can lock it again so it won't leak - a nice feature. I love the product and the clean Alba brand. Recommend.

Bad product. Do not buy!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
No matter what I do to unlock the can, it simply will not work. I also bought the 30 SPF pack of two at the same time. They also do not work. Now, I have 3 cans of sunscreen that I cannot use because they will not spray and I can't even return them. Check the return policy and the reviews! I did not and now I'm stuck with expensive trash. This shouldn't be that hard. I've bought other brands that spray just fine. It's a problem specific to alba.

Stopped spraying
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
I bought 2 bottles for an upcoming vacation and I’ve used this brand in the past. One of my bottles only sprayed once and then stopped. I had to throw away the entire bottle because I missed the return date.

Only used this twice and now I can’t get it to spray! Very frustrating. And it’s past the return window.
