This very interesting 173 page book by Stuart Ager is about the Citroen SM, yet not about the Citroen SM.

It is a book about the political and business climate in France during the late 1960's and 1970's and how this affected Citroen as a company, ultimately resulting in a very good car being killed off in it's prime.

Stuart has gathered together snippets of information gleaned from numerous sources to build a complete picture of how and why Citroen made the decisions it did in that period and surmised how it could have been very different.

A very interesting read, not only for fans of the SM, but for anyone with an interest of Citroen around that time.
