Being cheap (but I did buy the Kimes book), I got my copy of the excellent James Ward (Fall of the Packard....) book from my inter-library lending system. It's a good read, full of scholarly details. It may also be stocked by business schools because of its seriousness in detailing what happened...the good and bad.

The Ward book is now nearly twenty years old and somewhat hard to find at a reasonable price. It was intended as a scholarly look at the fifty eight years of Packards and the collision of events that fell it. Both it and the Kimes edition come to similar conclusions. But the Ward book digs a bit deeper into the events. I borrowed my library copy for two weeks and read it diligently to grasp all the action and facts. Now I wish I owned my own copy. Both Kimes and Ward belong on the shelves of Packard enthusiasts.
