It examines the two fatal crashes involving Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and places them within a longer history of managerial, engineering, and regulatory decisions. Rather than treating the disasters as isolated design failures, Robison argues that they emerged from a deep transformation in Boeing's institutional priorities. The book traces the company from its reputation for engineering rigor toward a management culture more focused on cost control, schedules, financial performance, and shareholder returns. It also considers the role of the Federal Aviation Administration, whose reliance on Boeing in certification weakened independent oversight. Combining corporate history, reporting on the MAX program, technical context, and the human consequences of the crashes, the book aims to explain how failures that appeared preventable were allowed to accumulate. Its central purpose is to connect product safety to organizational culture, leadership incentives, and public accountability.
