4.0 out of 5 stars A very personal , biased and entertaining book., December 20, 2002

By	David Traver Adolphus "Automotive journalist,... (Bennington, Vermont) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In the great British and European journalistic tradition, Setright makes no pretense of objectivity. This is a personal account, full of second-hand stories and personal reminiscences, largely of the pre-war era. Neverthless, it is a wonderfully readable and entertaining book, which does convey a terrific historical perspective of the evolution and relationships of the European auto industry.

As such, this is a book about individuals, and does a fine job of conveying information about the personalities that continue to inform our designs to this day.
