Synopsis
In this biography, Steven Watts tells the story of the rise of Henry Ford from his farm-boy roots in the 19th century to his position as the businessman who, perhaps more than anyone else, changed America in the 20th. Wells documents Ford's inventions--including the Model T and the assembly line--but it is Ford's intuitive grasp of the potential of the masses as consumers that stands out. Ford designed the Model T so that it was priced within reach of the average person. He also understood that incentives such as higher wages for workers would result in greater productivity--and a larger consumer class. Ford was a compelling public figure, a celebrity who always kept Americans interested, and this was essential to creating his unique and lasting brand. Watts's biography is warts-and-all, refusing to gloss over Ford's anti-Semitism or his cruel treatment of his son, Edsel. Nevertheless, in this comprehensive biography, Watts portrays Henry Ford as a practical man with a keen vision.

Industry Reviews
"Steven Watts is intelligent, thorough and engaging...in telling the story of an American who not only was influential but remains unavoidable to this day: with every contemporary advertisement promising personal fulfillment through the purchase of some new product, there breathes the spirit of Henry Ford."
New York Times Book Review - Rich Lowry (09/04/2005)
