Book Reviews of The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century
Book Review: An excellent biography of Henry Ford.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read a number of Ford biographies but this one is perhaps, the most balanced one. It praises and criticizes Mr. Ford. It does, for example, point out that he was an early advocate of the Consumer Society. It also describes his long affair and some of the foolish things he did with his vast fortune.
The book is well written and a joy to read.
