Editorial Reviews

Diane Steed, president, Coalition for Vehicle Choice, and former administrator, U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Well-written, well-documented, and fun to read. Johnston details the inevitable clash between man's desire for freedom of mobility and the government's ever-increasing tendency to want to regulate all aspects of motor vehicles. A great 'ride' and a must-read for all who cherish their right to buy and drive the car or truck of their choice.

Hon. John D. Dingell, member, U.S. House of Representatives
This book sheds light on environmental and other issues, including global warming, that will deeply affect the future of the automobile and of all American industry. You can agree or disagree with the author's views on these issues, but you will certainly benefit from reading this book.

Customer Reviews

Well-written work on three major transportation issues.
Johnston has produced a thoughtful, well-researched and documented work dealing with three issues of major significance to modern citizens: automobile fuel efficiency, global warming and air pollution. There are fascinating insights into the process of legislation and regulation in the US government. This book should be required reading for anyone with an interest in our environment, and concern about the appropriateness of the measures being taken to protect it.
