Making Dad Proud
A Novel of Henry and Edsel Ford
January 1926. Henry Ford walks into a design room, looks at his son's new car, and takes an axe to it. Making Dad Proud is the story of the most famous father and son in American industry — a sweeping historical novel of loyalty and sabotage, of beautiful machines built inside an ugly system, and of what it cost Edsel Ford to earn the approval he never stopped chasing.
