Book Synopsis
Reissued in paperback, this book provides an account of the Ford story from the birth of the Model T, the early conflicts with the Dodge brothers, the revolutionary announcement of the five-dollar day, and development of the moving assembly line, a concept that changed our world. It is a history of a business empire and the power of tragedy.

Trade Review
My story is about the Henry Ford I knew as well as any man alive or dead knew him. It is about the fabulous growth and preservation of the Ford Motor Company, which, in his shaken old age, not even its owner could destroy. It is about the creation and birth in that company of what has been the miracle of the Twentieth Century: the modern American industrial system of mass production with its moving assembly line. It is not the story of Charles Sorensen. It is, however, the story that I, Charles Sorensen, was privileged to see of Henry Ford and his works. It is a story of Mr. Ford's greatest success and his most tragic failure. - Charles E. Sorensen
