Detroit ? Why the Circus Left Town

- A Definitive Memoir

Bag om Detroit ? Why the Circus Left Town

Robert Riley writes about his life in the great city of Detroit and his career in the great American automotive industry. "I love Detroit," he says, "but this story isn't about Detroit. Rather, the story is immersed in and influenced by Detroit-I was born and raised in middle-class Detroit, went to its schools and was inculcated into a set of values to which you will be exposed. In somewhat the same manner, like most Americans, I love cars, but this story isn't about cars. What I really, really loved was being immersed in the business of making American cars, starting at a time almost 60 years ago, when particularly the American automotive industry basked in almost universal admiration." Detroit-Why the Circus Left Town is a definitive memoir of Riley's life and career that explores what caused the decline in the industry he loves and what we might be able to do to restore the vitality and exuberance that once made Motown the epicenter of America's love affair with the automobile.
