520 _a'There are few real-life business stories that could match that of the downfall of Rover. Twenty years ago it would have been unthinkable that a brand with such a loyal following, that held a special place within the heart of the ordinary British man, could possibly fail. The events that led to the downfall were as tragic as they were predictable.' 'In an earlier edition of this book, at the point when BMW sold MG Rover, Chris Brady and Andrew Lorenz predicted with astonishing accuracy that the Phoenix takeover of the company was doomed to failure. Here, they tell the full untold story of Rover's downfall, from beginning to end.'--Jacket.
