Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans by A.J. Baime chronicles the intense rivalry that ignited in 1963 between American industrialist Henry Ford II and Italian automotive legend Enzo Ferrari. Following a failed business deal, their animosity played out on the grueling stage of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ford, determined to conquer the European racing circuit and defeat Ferrari on his own turf, poured resources into developing a machine capable of dethroning the reigning champion. The narrative follows the high-stakes competition, the brilliant engineers and daring drivers involved, and the relentless pursuit of speed and victory against a backdrop of national pride and personal ambition.
