‘Everything that a popular history book should be’

Posted on 2010/08/26 , tagged as

Bookgeeks reviews Greg Grandin’s Fordlandia, a fact-is-far-stranger-than-fiction tale of Henry Ford’s mad attempt to build his idea of a perfect American town slap bang in the middle of the Amazonian jungle.

It’s won awards and plaudits aplenty both sides of the Atlantic, and we’re publishing the paperback in October.
