Descripción

VERY FINE without any flaws. Limited Edition. Leather Bound collector's edition. Easton Press, Norwalk CT. 1989 Keith Sward "The Legend of Henry Ford" Limited Edition. As New, sealed without any flaws. The Library of Great Lives. Collector's notes by the publisher. Features Includes all the classic Easton Press qualities: * Premium Leather * Silk Moire Endleaves * Distinctive Cover Design * Hubbed Spine, Accented in Real 22KT Gold * Satin Ribbon Page Marker * Gilded Page Edges * Long-lasting, High Quality Acid-neutral Paper * Smyth-sewn Pages for Strength and Durability * Beautiful Illustrations Compared with Richards' The Last Billionaire (P. 619) this seems a deeper, more incisive exploration into the person known through his public manifestations. Acknowledging his genius as a mechanic, his daring, this contrasts his fumbling gestures on the labor front, his identification with prejudice groups, the fact vs the fiction spread by public relations, and then goes on to the equivocal position of Henry II, whether heir to the legend, or man of good will. Chapter and verse of Ford's career, from the opportunism of his appearance on the scene of the invention of the automobile, Old's mass production, the American acceptance of the motor idea, to his characteristics that made him an outstanding figure in mass acceptance of quantity output, a political lone wolf, or a national saint. This gives credit in the field of mechanics -- but failure in social history. Studious, controversial, but pointed in evaluation. Of business interest, chiefly. N° de ref. del artículo 42-103
