As one reviewer noted it reads like a novel in that you never know exactly where it's going. I happen to grow up in Detroit from 1920 to 1946 and lived through most of that period except for army service. The book recalled for me much that I had forgotten but came alive again as I read it. I also worked for Henry Ford at the Highland Park Plant before I was inducted and I personally met Harry Bennett; Syd Abel and many of the sports figures and thugs that he hired. I also had a hand in the race riots when I would transport my black neighbor to the downtown Fyfe shoe store where he was an accountant. For 3 days I set him on the floor of my car covered with a tarp and drove downtown before I had to go to my own work shift. I also lived near a German American restaurant which after a raid by the FBI they discovered members of the Bund and potential spies. Great story - great times and I'm proud of what Detroit did.

Baime packs this historically-significant book with thousands of fascinating details. He reveals a great deal about the Ford family dynasty; all of it immensely interesting. This work also makes it completely clear how American industrial production won World War II. Highly recommended.
