I liked it, just wished I'd read it 20 years ago when the information was still fresh. My fault, not the author's... I agree with the previous reviewer - these are not the kind of people you'd like to have as friends (although it might be nice to have the kind of money it would take to hang with them). Pirahnas in a bowl of gold fish... Interesting book to read now, in view of the near demise of the domestic automobile industry. You can see why the car makers haven't dealt well with change -- insulated and very, very human. Excellent biography of Henry Ford, his son Edsel, and grandson Henry--brought out their strengths well, but also their failings. Very interesting, and, in the end, not people you'd call a friend. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Ford
One of capitalisms alters
a vast satanic cathedral
All night the Rogue growls
its fires and flares
casting flickering shadows
its furnaces glowing dull red
around the base of its brooding bulk
The industrial guts of America
Europe has its palaces
but America celebrates her native genius
with monuments of a rougher sort.
--credit to Robert Lacy, Ford: The Men and Machine
