If you can get your hands on this Biography I suggest you do. It gives a different perspective of Henry than a lot of other books about him as it relates to his treatment of Edsel.
A lot of factors contributed to Edsel's early death including his stressful relationship with his father, undulant fever, a misdiagnosis of his cancer as being "just" an ulcer, and the intense pressure of starting and running the Willow Run bomber plant.
