Henry Ford's Fight

Henry Ford's first Model T rolled off the assembly line on September 27, 1908, and over fifteen million were built in the following two decades.

But before he changed the world with the Model T, Henry Ford had to fight a bizarre legal battle that threatened the entire automobile industry. This is the nearly-forgotten story of how Ford stood almost alone against powerful forces who tried to hold everything hostage.
