Publisher's summary

From the acclaimed author of Birdmen comes a revelatory new history of the birth of the automobile - an illuminating and entertaining true tale of invention, competition, and the visionaries, hustlers, and swindlers who came together to transform the world. With a narrative as propulsive as its subject, Drive! plunges us headlong into a time unlike any in history, when manic innovation and consumerist zeal coalesced to forever change the way people got from one place to another.

Ford Detractor.

Lots of good history about early automotive in history. However the author spends far too much time trying to discredit and detract from Henry Ford’s contribution. For sure Henry Ford is imperfect… but almost nothing is said in his favor. Even the authors speculation about events is almost 100% negative about Ford and paints most other characters in positively. …. Even Zthe reprehensible George Selden.
