Praise for Steven Watts's The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century "Intelligent, thorough, and engaging. . . . The implicit claim of Watts's admirable book is almost inarguable-that it's impossible to understand twentieth-century America without knowing the story of Henry Ford."-The New York Times Book Review "Ford has had many biographers. . . . None, however, comes close to Steven Watts. . . . He brilliantly reveals the nature of Ford's genius."-Chicago Tribune "An energetic and altogether fascinating look at an eccentric genius who helped make modern America."-Los Angeles Times "Watts's judicious exploration of the feats and foibles of Henry Ford provides a timely and compelling model of how to cut through the hype and tell the real story."-The Washington Post Praise for Steven Watts's The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life "Gives us a vivid portrait of the man behind Mickey Mouse, while at the same time situating his anomalous achievement within a social and aesthetic context. . . . A terrifically readable and illuminating book."-The New York Times "A treasure trove of information on the Disney enterprise. . . . An invaluable mine of material on how the American century became the Disney century."-Los Angeles Times "An excellent book. . . . A subtle, generous-minded account of Walt Disney's legacy."-The Economist (London)
