Book Reviews of The Fords: An American Epic
Book Review: An Absolutely Superb Family Bio
Summary: 5 Stars
'The Fords: An American Epic' by David Horowitz & Peter Collier
Horowitz & Collier deliver yet another superb narrative of one of America's historic, controversial and complex families. They have this genre down to a science.
This is, without doubt, the best book on the Ford family I have read, and I've read a few. For an unbiased look at Henry's early tinkering in the garage to the perfection of the production line to his controversial stances on important world events, this book has no comparison. The strange inter-family relationships are broken down in detail and explained with clarity. The book focuses on family & business, which was no easy feat: Henry & Edsel's relationship; Lee Iacocca's influence on the Ford Motors; the return of "Hank the Deuce"; to Bill Ford's generation and more recent family activity.
A wonderfully enjoyable read that is as detail laden as it is fast paced. An easy call for 5 stars!
