This is a great,well referenced, but Long! biography of Henry from beginning up to the 1960's a great read-it took me 2 years off and on-and I am a very rapid reader. Henry was, basically, a horrific father and a not very nice man who, pretty much literally, killed E, driv9ing him to his grave. Very sad,really, because in his own way, Edsel was the savior of FMC
