Scott Hamilton's latest book
From the groundbreaking 247 to the global crisis of the 737 MAX, The Rise and Fall of Boeing reveals how one of the world’s most respected companies shifted its focus from engineering excellence to shareholder returns—with catastrophic consequences.
Through sharp reporting and behind-the-scenes detail, this book traces Boeing’s transformation: a culture clash after the McDonnell Douglas merger, the troubled rollout of the 787 Dreamliner, and the leadership failures that led to tragedy and turmoil.
The Rise and Fall of Boeing is a must-read for business leaders, aviation professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of corporate culture, public safety, and global reputation. Rise and Fall expands upon Hamilton's first book, Air Wars, which captures John Leahy’s Airbus legacy and the 35-year duel with Boeing.
