Why it’s on the list: Henry Ford II’s decision to beat Ferrari at Le Mans, and what it cost — the corporate-scale answer to a family-scale rival.

The source book behind the film Ford v Ferrari.

Where I saw it: @rywigs on X, April 18, 2026, from the Acquired Ferrari episode’s book list: “Ferrari episode is stocked: Enzo, Go Like Hell.”

Connections

  • Enzo Ferrari (Book) — the same rivalry from the other garage.
  • Acquired — where the pairing came from.
  • Company Building — a big incumbent trying to buy its way into a craft it did not have.
