Outlaw Machine : Harley-Davidson and the Search for the American Soul

Rating:
Summary: Throwaway Book from a Good Writer
Review: Yates is a fine writer who took an inherently fascinating topic - a social and corporate history of H-D, its near death in the 70's, and its revival in the '80s and '90s - and phoned it in. Numerous factual errors, poor research and over-the-top psychological profiling are thrown together with minimal organization to prove a point that's never quite defined. Pity, could have been much better.
