Although published in 2002 this book is simply a reprint of the excellent 1987 original with just a 4 page update written in 2001. Also there are no photographs unlike the 1987 edition. Therefore be aware this is simply a reprint with a very short now ten year old update: in effect the book is about the Fords until 1987. Given what has happened since try "Crash Course" by Paul ingrassia or any of the recent books about the US Car industry.

“The Fords” truly are an American Epic and this book is their tale. Beginning with the patriarch, Henry, it tells the story of a Midwestern farm boy who was intrigued by machinery, learned what makes it go, and applied his knowledge to put America on wheels. Henry is depicted as an eccentric genius who figured out how to build a car that would run on primitive rural roads, was affordable to the masses, rescued a hospital that still bears his name and set up a business that is remains in the control of his family to this day despite having subjected it to a reign of terror presided over by his enforcer, Harry Bennett. He was also a believer in reincarnation and was distrustful of Jews, bankers, lawyers and doctors.Edsel was the son of promise who, before dying of cancer, made the transition to upper class respectability and was a respected corporate executive but who could never take a position in opposition to his father.This work concludes with the third generation, Henry’s grandchildren who resented him for his treatment of their revered father. Each of them faced their own challenges and demons. Henry II entered the executive suite after his father’s death and quickly revitalized a company that had limped into and through the depression and needed rapid modernization if it was going to prosper in the post-World War II era before adopting the life of an English squire. Benson and Bill would be minor players in the company although Bill would find his fulfillment in the Detroit Lions. All of this generation struggled with alcoholism and Henry, despite his commercial successes, endured a series of family failures.Authors Peter Collier and David Horowitz have succeeded in blending a commercial and family history into a very readable book that appeals to a wide variety of readers. Students of American industrial history will learn much about the origins and development of the auto industry. Fans of dynasties and celebrities will be fascinated by the complex relationships among Ford Family members. For the rest it can make a very enjoyable read.

Pretty good. You could see how unusual Henry Ford was. His family called him an 'odd duck'. But you could also see how he could only flourish in a free society. He was a natural born engineer and loved machines. He invented nothing but brought things together. He remained a farm boy all his life and never transcended his background but he invented the modern world. The book could do with a few more photos of the cars but it's an excellent read. And what a great story!
