"For about twenty years I was in complete charge of all Ford production. Although by the late 1940's I had become a director of Ford Motor Company and its executive vice-president, it was agreed in the early days of the company that I did not need a title to get things done - better, indeed, that I did not have one. The understanding was that anything to be made would be turned over to me for final engineering drawings and production. ... My story is about the Henry Ford I knew better than any man alive or dead knew him. It is about the fabulous growth and preservation of the Ford Motor Company, which, in his shaken old age, not even its owner could destroy. It is about the creation and birth in that company of what has been the miracle of the twentieth century: the modern American industrial system of mass production with its moving assembly line." First Edition, First Printing of this revealing insider memoir of Henry Ford and his automobiles.
