Description
"We have remade the country with automobiles," boasted Henry Ford in 1926. "The progress of the world has been in direct ratio to the convenience of communication." But the imagination of the great manufacturer was not unlimited. As Allan Nevins and Frenk Ernest Hill tell us in this the third and final volume of the history of the Ford Motor Company, the giant enterprise tottered on the brink of disintegration in the great depression and its aftermath. Plant after plant was distracted by labor troubles that could not be solved by the imperious methods of Ford's lieutenant Harry Bennett. This most dramatic pages of "Decline and Rebirth" deal with Ford and labor. But even in 1945 the Ford organization was in jeopardy, with Henry's son Edsel dead and many high executives leaving what seemed to be a sinking ship. However, with the coming to power of the founder's grandson Henry II, the company was built anew.
