From Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Ingrassia comes a narrative of America like no other: a cultural History that explores how Cars have both propelled and reflected the national experience--from the Model T to the Prius.
Narrative History of the highest caliber, Engines of Change is an entirely edifying new way to look at the American story..
Through these Cars and these characters, Ingrassia shows how the car has expressed the particularly American tension between the lure of freedom and the obligations of utility.
Engines of Change is a wondrous epic in Fifteen automobiles, including the Corvette, the Beetle, and the Chevy Corvair, as well as the personalities and tales behind them: Robert McNamara\'s unlikely role in Lee Iacocca\'s Mustang, Henry Ford\'s Model T, as well as Honda\'s Accord, the BMW 3 Series, and the Jeep, among others.
From the assembly lines of Henry Ford to the open roads of Route 66, America\'s History is a vehicular history-an idea brought brilliantly to life in this major work by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Ingrassia.
