Description
Enzo Ferrari: The Man and the Machine by Brock Yates is a biography that delves into the life of the man behind the iconic Ferrari brand. For nearly seventy years, Enzo Ferrari was at the helm of a motor-sports empire that redefined high-performance cars. Yates's book penetrates the elaborate veneer surrounding Ferrari, revealing the truth behind his complex relationships and fanatical obsession with speed. The author sheds light on Ferrari's involvement with Mussolini's fascists and explores the darker side of his personality, challenging the image of a benevolent padrone that has been perpetuated by history. A fascinating and provocative book, Enzo Ferrari: The Man and the Machine offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most revered figures in Italian history.
