999 booksIn My Forty Years with Ford, Charles Sorensen, a man sometimes known as Henry Ford's right-hand man, sometimes as Cast Iron Charlie, tells his own story. He emerges as a man who was not only one of the great production geniuses of the world but also a man who called the plays as he saw them.
He was the only man who was able to stay with Ford for almost the full history of his empire, yet he never hesitated to go against Ford when he felt the interests of the company demanded it. When labor difficulties mounted and Edsel's fatal illness was upon him, Sorensen sided with Edsel against Henry Ford and Harry Bennett, and he insisted that Henry Ford II be brought in to direct the company despite the aging founder's determination that no one, but he, holds the presidential reins.
