Henry Ford, father of assembly-line production, was a complex man. His sturdy, low-cost Model T changed the life style and economy of a nation. He launched the five-dollar, eight-hour-day, and the five-day week. He was among the first employers to hire Black labor. But this same man harangued the Jews in the columns of his newspaper.

Scrupulously honest in his personal life, Ford, for a time, gave full power at his plant to Harry Bennett, who openly consorted with hoodlums.

Indifferent to history, if not outright contemptuous, his Greenfield Village is one of the most outstanding displays of Americana in existence.

An entertaining and objective account of the life of one of the titans of the twentieth century.
