The pictures offer a striking and memorable panorama, of American engineering and emergent industrialism, and of the personal career of Henry Ford and the people nearest him.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey will delight great numbers of people simply as novel, meaningful, and effectively presented pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text, however, adds much to this pictorial excursion into the past. It has new facts, new ideas, and sound conclusions.\"—Allan Nevins\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost books written about Henry Ford either attack him bitterly or praise him with uncritical extravagance. That kind of treatment distorts the picture of a man who, whatever his talents or genius or shortcomings, played a great part in the development of the modern America —and the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe point of view in this book is simp,,LL see for yourself. Much of what you w-11 see and read has never been seen or read before. It is history at its source. In looking at Henry Ford and his times you will also get a glimpse of the Ford Archives, the greatest board of the raw materials of history ever assembled, a phenomenon almost as amazing as Ford himself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSIDNEY OLSON was senior editor of Time, Life and Fortune from 1939 to 1950. More recently be has been Vice-president in charge of forward planning for J.
