　　How a Michigan farm boy became the richest man in America is a

classic, almost mythic tale, but never before has Henry Ford’s

outsized genius been brought to life so vividly as it is in this

engaging and superbly researched biography.

The real Henry Ford was a tangle of contradictions. He set off

the consumer revolution by producing a car affordable to the

masses, all the while lamenting the moral toll exacted by

consumerism. He believed in giving his workers a living wage,

though he was entirely opposed to union labor. He had a warm and

loving relationship with his wife, but sired a son with another

woman. A rabid anti-Semite, he nonetheless embraced African

American workers in the era of Jim Crow.

Uncovering the man behind the myth, situating his achievements

and their attendant controversies firmly within the context of

early twentieth-century America, Watts has given us a

comprehensive, illuminating, and fascinating biography of one of

America’s first mass-culture celebrities.
