Henry's Lieutenants

<p>Although Henry Ford gloried in the limelight of highly publicized achievement he privately admitted "I don't do so much I just go around lighting fires under other people."<br /><br />Henry's Lieutenants features biographies of thirty-five "other people" who served Henry Ford in a variety of capacities and nearly all of whom contributed to his fame. These biographical sketches and career highlights reflect the people of high caliber employed by Henry Ford to accomplish his goals: Harry Bennett Albert Kahn Ernest Kanzler William S. Knudsen and Charles E. Sorenson among others. Most were employed by the Ford Motor Company although a few of them were Ford's personal employees satisfying concurrent needs of a more private nature including his farming educational and sociological ventures.<br /><br />Ford Bryan obtained a considerable amount of the material in this book from the oral reminiscences of the subjects themselves.</p>
