For those who don't believe in conspiracies, try this for size: a group of car importers who manage to perpetrate a $2 billion fraud on an entire country, all through the simple mechanism of organised odometer tampering.
This is the story of how they did it, with the apparent connivance of a Government, written by the man who uncovered it and blew the whistle in a series of top rating 60 Minutes documentaries.
CAR WARS Review Comments
"Riveting reading. There seems no doubt that there has been a coverup. Fascinating publication...it's well worth the read." - Northern Advocate"The book is a comprehensive account of the battles in and out of court plus the detective work and political lobbying which helped bring the odometer winding scandal to light...the author and his associates give step by step instructions about how to get the true mileage through the Japanese registration system...the book is worth its price for this information alone." - Hawkes Bay Herald Tribune
