In AcAAMy Forty Years with FordAcAA, Charles Sorensen, sometimes
known as AcAAHenry Ford's manAcAA, sometimes as AcAACast-iron
CharlieAcAA, tells his own story, and it is as challenging as it is
historic. He emerges as a man who was not only one of the great
production geniuses of the world but also a man who called the
plays as he saw them. He was the only man who was able to stay with
Ford for almost the full history of his empire, yet he never
hesitated to go against Ford when he felt the interests of the
company demanded it. When labor difficulties mounted and Edsel's
fatal illness was upon him. Sorensen sided with Edsel against Henry
Ford and Harry Bennett, and he insisted that Henry Ford II be
brought in to direct the company despite the aging founder's
determination that no one but he hold the presidential reins. First
published in 1956, AcAAMy Forty Years with FordAcAA, has now been
reissued in paperback for the first time. The Ford story has often
been discussed in print but has rarely been articulated by someone
who was there. Here Sorensen provides an eyewitness account of the
birth of the Model T, the early conflicts with the Dodge brothers,
the revolutionary announcement of the five-dollar day, and
Sorensen's development of the moving assembly line, a concept that
changed our world. Although Sorensen conceived, designed, and built
the giant Willow Run plant in nineteen months and then proceeded to
turn out eight thousand giant bombers, his life's major work was to
make possible the vision of Henry Ford and to postpone the personal
misfortune with which it ended. AcAAMy Forty Years with FordAcAA is
both a personal history of a business empire and a revelation that
moves with excitement and the power of tragedy.
