Description
In this rigorously researched, narrative-driven account, Henry Ford II: The Deuce Who Beat Ferrari traces how a grandson of the Model T's inventor transformed into a commanding force in American industry. The book follows Ford's journey from his privileged but pressurized upbringing through wartime service, corporate takeover, and his defiant challenge to Enzo Ferrari in the world's most prestigious endurance race. Along the way, readers meet the engineers, drivers, and executives-Shelby, Miles, McNamara, Iacocca-who shaped a daring era of innovation and risk.
Drawing on verifiable historical records and presented in a smooth, story-driven voice, this is not just the saga of a car. It is the story of how a single directive-"Go to Le Mans and beat them"-became a defining moment in the global identity of Ford Motor Company and the legacy of a man known simply as "The Deuce."
