The secret life of Henry Ford
by John Côté Dahlinger as told to Frances Spatz Leighton.

When he was in his 60s Henry Ford fathered another child. The boy, John was raised with his mother and "father" but Henry Ford was always hanging about the Estate. Both parents worked for FMC, and the book is him memories of Henry Ford.
The book is a fairly straight forward look at the Mr Ford by someone who was around him a lot. The book is more a loose collection of stories. It is illustrated by his parents journals and his memories. It seems pretty subjective, and his views seem very much in line with the other books I have read on Ford (including his existence). He tends to gloss over some of the more controversial points including Mr Ford and the jews. But does talk a lot about Edsel and his mistreatment at the hands of his father.
This was an interesting good, but does not really add a lot to the insight of the life of Henry Ford that is not already covered by one of the other biographies available on him.
