First published in 1929, The Life of the Automobile is a 20th century classic. It captures all the excitement and fear of this new means of transportation. Flamboyant characters like Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, and Andre Citroen move in and out of its pages, as do the victims of the first car crash and the first car plant strikes. Written when confidence in science was supreme, this novel uncannily predicts the rise and fall of our romance with the automobile.
