Walk through any parking lot in America and you're bound to find a Ford. The car manufacturer is one of the most famous companies in the world, and it all started with one man - Henry Ford.
So who was he? How did his inventions change the world? How did he treat his staff? And what about his family?
Don is joined by Steven Watts, Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri and author of 8 books including ‘The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century’ and most recently ‘Citizen Cowboy: Will Rogers and the American People’.
Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Aliza Dams. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.
