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.

Great book written by one of our club members, Henry Dominguez.
