Summary
Soon to be an AppleTV+ series, this is the definitive account of how Enzo Ferrari became the master of motor racing, and one of the most complex, important and imposing figures in the 20th century.
The book draws upon years of original research, conducted in Italy and abroad, and unveils hidden aspects of Ferrari's career - from his early days as a racer, to how he founded the Ferrari company, and even his dealings with the Italian Fascist government and Communist leaders.
Learn how Ferrari pushed his drivers to the brink of disaster, revolutionised the automobile industry and overcame family and company infighting on his rise to greatness.

Slow story about the man who lived for speed
Very strong on (too much?) detail. Lists of names and dates, etc. But lacking insight into the passion that drove Ferrari. He is easy to admire, much harder to like. And many of his values, especially with regard to women, were antique even when he was alive. He only did one thing well, but he did that better than anyone before or since, so his place in history is assured.
The one huge mistake with this production is the decision to ask the reader to put on a phoney "Eye-talian" accent when delivering quotes and verbatims. This is truly awful. It robs the character of any dignity or seriousness, both of which he is fully entitled to, and makes him sound like something out of Fawlty Towers. A dreaful mistake. never to be repeated.
