Ferrari, the name itself evokes the world of speed, a world of fast cars, heroic deeds and glamour. This is the story of the man behind the name. Enzo Ferrari never contributed so much as a single sketch to the design of the product that carries his name, other men did that for him. Yet his towering ambition and strategic genius enabled him to outlast his main rivals and to ensure that nothing could diminish the allure of the legend that he created. This biography goes back to Enzo's origins and traces his remarkable rise to prominence.

  • History of Ferrari racing rather than bio

    Good book with lots of detail about Enzo and the larger than life characters in his life - drivers, engineers, money men - but relatively little insight into his upbringing and personal life. This is kept discreetly in the background and only mentioned in brief snatches. The focus is on the racetrack - which Enzo rarely visited after he gave up driving himself - and the scuderia / factory. Still interesting but few peeks behind the mask of the man himself.
