Confronted as we are daily by the political situation in the American States, the déjà-vu one experiences when reading this makes the blood run cold. Lacey's superb, detailed survey - from the very beginning of the 'grass roots' through to the present day - brings home why this state of affairs has changed so little. Due to fresh information and sensitive insights into Ford, his family, colleagues and social circle, together with the history of the automobile this book has something for everyone and one would wish it twice its length.
