This is one of those pieces of non fiction that feels like a story, and it really is. The author has taken just the right amount of quotes and details from real events to stick together this story of the war between Ford and Ferrari.
The war between these auto giants stems from the wake of WW2 and roots that are planted well before WW1. True stories of how two completely different corporate cultures from two sides of the Atlantic, throw everything at their disposal into one race for the sake of glory.
This book also helps highlight how auto races equate into real dollars for manufacturers. The individual stories of the development of each Ford and Ferrari like they are real people also adds a lot of character. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the roots of auto racing and the larger-than-life moguls (Henry Ford II & Enzo Ferrari) that lit a spark to a flame that burned for generations.
