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.

Amazing lotion for the low price.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great everyday lotion and an excellent value for the price. The texture is light and creamy, not greasy, and it absorbs quickly. I like the scent, though scent preference is personal. Shipping was fast. The only downside is the pump—it was difficult to open and required turning it counterclockwise, then clockwise, which was more effort than it should have been. Once it popped up, it works perfectly.

Best non greasy moisturizing lotion ever!!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion is honestly probably one of the best lotions I’ve ever used. I used it for the first time today immediately after my shower and it’s the perfect consistency not too thick or thin.. not full of water either which is good because my skin absorbs instantly! Most lotions sit on my skin and make me greasy and sweaty afterwards. It also smells like HEAVEN. Chocolaty and a hint of vanilla! I won’t be buying any other lotion this now!

Great moisturizer
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream is a great alternative to the more expensive name brand creams. I have ordered this a few times and I feel like it does a wonderful job keeping my skin feeling soft, nourished and moisturized until the next time I shower. I do not feel as though my skin is greasy or oily after using this product. The cream does not feel thick or heavy on my skin. I am able to put a pair of pants on comfortably after using cream without feeling sticky. The cocoa butter scent is light and not over powering. There are parts of my body that I have to avoid with the cream because I do have eczema, but this is something I have grown up with and I am used to. I have purchased the cream twice, and unfortunately, the second time I bought it the pump top came a little bit destroyed (shown in photo). The product is still fully functional and will not determine from buying this again in the future!

Satisfied
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great value. Lotion is non greasy - fast absorbing and will last thru handwashing, leaves skin revitalized and soft. The smell is not as pleasant as I would like and the bottle's size makes pumping difficult. But all in all it was a good buy and worth the cons.

High Quality Cocoa Butter Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This feels amazing on the skin, and works for every skin type. The application is very simple, and it lasts a long time ! The fragrance is sooo nice, and is almost exactly the same as the Vaseline version (as advertised on the bottle!).
