Book Description
The inspiration for the major motion picture Ferrari directed by Michael Mann and starring Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz and Shailene Woodley, hailed by Variety as “Grand Prix fused with The Godfather” The sweeping biography of the enigmatic racer and sports car mogul who built the Ferrari brand, now featuring a new foreword, epilogue, and photo insert Genius? Tyrant? Power broker? Enzo Ferrari is the impressively researched, fully detailed biography of one of the most powerful men of the twentieth century. Brock Yates penetrated Ferrari’s inner circle and reveals everything, from his early days in the town of Modena to his bizarre relationship with his illegitimate son; from his fanatic passion for speed to his brilliant marketing of the famous Ferrari image; from his manipulative but enormously effective management tactics to his own frustrated dreams. Fast, fun, and scandalous, Enzo Ferrari more than lives up to its remarkable subject.

Book Description
At the touch of emotion, the "Dance with Destiny" becomes one of the greatest timeless biographical novel. Real or not real? Real, this incredible story is true and its dramatic twists and turns go far beyond anything we could imagine. For those who love with soul there is no such thing as separation. The Second World War story of the passionate and tragic affair between Betty Bjurström, the beautiful, famous dancer, and Renato Senise, film producer and Allied intelligence agent, has taken on an almost mythical dimension. Like all myths, it is based on conflicting accounts and anecdotes. Accordingly, it would be almost impossible to untangle the final facts in Renato’s complex life — it is an almost novelistic attempt to portray two remarkable characters whose feelings for one another were perhaps too much to bear. Enjoyable reading as living through the passions and adventures of the leading characters as they are drawn into “A Dance with Destiny”.
