Jason Vuic's, The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History is far more than just a history of a car. This well written story explores key personalities, contrasts East and West economic systems, while keeping a focus on the Yugo, now considered the ultimate "crap" car. In writing a critical review of this book focus on examining the strengths and weaknesses of important personalities that shaped the Yugo project, and on a discussion of the socialistic production system that existed in Yugoslavia. Conclude by reflecting on meaningful lessons learned from the story of a car that is largely forgotten. Was the Yugo just a bad car, or a car that was obsolete, behind the times?
