护封简介：在 General Motors 任职的17年间，John De Lorean 既是汽车工业最具争议的风云人物之一，也是最具才华与成就的高管之一。因此，他在1973年4月从 GM 的辞职震惊了整个商界。当有消息传出他正与记者 J. Patrick Wright 合著一本揭秘 General Motors 内部生活的书籍时，GM 和整个汽车界都在焦急地等待它的问世。然而出人意料的是，De Lorean 随后拒绝让该书出版，声称担心来自 GM 的报复会摧毁他创办一家新

……我估计如果她很快退休，继任者八成会放话说“我们是汽车公司，不是地图公司！”然后把项目砍掉。这会让 Super-cruise 彻底完蛋。有机会的话，去读读《晴天你能看见通用汽车》（On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors），它从约翰·Z·德罗宁（John Z. DeLorean）的视角讲述了通用的故事。
…I expect that if she retires soon, her successor will make a statement such as "We're a car company, not a map company!" and close the project. Which will doom Super-cruise. If you get a chance, read On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors which tells the tale of GM from the viewpoint of John Z. DeLorean.
迈克尔·施奈尔森（Michael Shnayerson）写的《The Car That Could: The Inside Story of GM's Revolutionary Electric Vehicle》。如果这让你领教到了通用汽车到底有多奇葩，接下来建议去读约翰·Z·德罗宁的《晴天你能看见通用汽车》（On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors）。技术讲得少，更多是管理层面的反面教材（anti-patterns）！
The Car That Could: The Inside Story of GM's Revolutionary Electric Vehicle by Michael Shnayerson. If that gives you a taste for how crazy General Motors is, follow up with On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors by John Z. Delorian. Less about tech, more about management anti patterns!
……http://www.amazon.com/Iacocca-Autobiography-Lee/dp/055325147... 他写于1984年，但书里说的每一句话都完全契合2008/2009年汽车业的崩盘。关于这一点，时间再往前倒一点，读读约翰·德罗宁的《晴天你能看见通用汽车》（On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors）。这些经营不善的公司居然能一路跌跌撞撞混这么久，真让人不可思议；而且这些书清楚地表明，绝不能光把锅甩给工会。
…http://www.amazon.com/Iacocca-Autobiography-Lee/dp/055325147... He wrote it in 1984, but everything he says applies to the 2008/2009 collapse of the auto industry. For that matter, go back a little further and read John DeLorean's On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors. It's pretty amazing how long these poorly run companies managed to trip along, and these books make it pretty clear it's not just the unions to blame.
如果你还没读过的话，他记录在通用汽车职业生涯的自传《晴天你能看见通用汽车》（On A Clear Day, You Can See General Motors）很值得一看。里面有不少干货，也与其他人口中对那家公司的评价高度吻合。
If you haven't read it, the autobiography of his career at GM "On A Clear Day, You Can See General Motors" is worth a look. Some very nice stuff in there, and corresponds well with what others have said about the company.
……Kingsley Ward（作者） - The Design of the UNIX Operating System - Horse Sense - 海明威的《永别了，武器》 - Save your marriage - 巴菲特致股东的信（The Essays of Warren Buffett） - 约翰·Z·德罗宁的《晴天你能看见通用汽车》（On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors）——让我这辈子都不想去大公司打工了。读过的书成千上万……根本没时间全读完或者一一列出来。
…Kingsley Ward (Author) - The Design of the UNIX Operating System - Horse Sense - Hemingway farewell to arms - Save your marriage - The Essays of Warren Buffett : Lessons for Corporate America - On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors: John Z. DeLorean's - made me never want to work for big company 1000s of books... no time to read or list them all.
约翰·Z 的自传《晴天你能看见通用汽车》（On a Clear Day, You Can See General Motors）读起来极其过瘾，无论是关于五六十年代到七十年代通用汽车的内幕爆料，还是字里行间未曾明说的东西。在我的印象里，大多数写自传的人可能会借此承认一些过失……
John Z's autobiography "On a Clear Day, You Can See General Motors" is an enormously fun read, both for what it says about GM in the 50s-70s, and what it doesn't say. My recollection is that most people writing an autobiography might use it as a way to acknowledge things…
