5 out of 5 stars Master of Precision   May 16, 2008
If you enjoy Automotive History and the underlined history of the true builders of this great industry you'll enjoy this book.
The detail of the lives and sensitivity of the Lelands (father and son) and the team that they formed is remarkable. The precision that they mastered and required of their employees tells of the standards they held for themselves and what they produced is truly amazing.
It also speaks of the less than fair business deals that Henry Ford had in buying a faltering Lincoln Motor Car company from the Lelands and their board members shows the ruthless nature of the early auto business.
