Excellent 'I was there' recount of how he built an empire

I started this book at the end of 2019 after watching the movie Ford vs. Ferrari. Carroll Shelby is such a character and it comes across on the page. He's also very passionate about cars with many of the details going over my head. My favorite parts were his racing stories especially when he raced at Le Mans.
