Henry Ford on PBS

[Tom in SW VA]

For the best book ever written on Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company, read, "My Forty Years with Ford" by Charles Sorensen. I have literally read the book five or six times. Everything you saw on PBS and more is in this book. Sorensen was the heart and soul of Ford Motors and he tells it likes it is. It is still in print and available from Amazon, etc. Let me know what you think of the book after you have read it - two or three times.

Tom - Thanks for the suggestion - I will find this book and read it!

I am sure "Cast-Iron Charlie" had a very unique perspective on Ford and old Henry...

It is a shame how the old man "froze-out" those who were "no longer needed" - Childe Harold Wills, William Knudsen, Sorenson, etc...

Old Henry was surely a man of paradoxes...
