What is the aim or goal of your writing: Contemporary Authors says, "David Lewis began to refine his doctoral thesis into a business biography of Henry Ford. The book, when finished, represented over 19 years of research and writing. Allan Nevins said: 'This is a model book of its kind. It is the best study in industrial public relations I have ever read. Not only is it thoroughly scholarly, and marked by incisive judgment throughout; it is so well-written and so colorful that it will hold the attention of the general reader while it satisfies the special student of business history and public opinion.'"
