Review:

Given the prolific number of books covering almost every aspect of motoring history, it is difficult to find a new publication offering a different dimension to what appears to be an exhausted subject: Mercedes-Benz History however, achieves just that. --John Surtees MBE

Synopsis:

Taylor combines his distinctive writing-style with a series of unique photos. The end result is a definitive history of Mercedes-Benz. The Silver Arrow racing car saga, alongside all the key players instrumental in the evolution of the Mercedes-Benz Company is all here. The main focus of the narrative, however, reveals the little-known people and the politics behind Hitler's cars. Over 600 black and white photos, originally given to Hitler by Daimler-Benz, and more recently discovered by the author in the archives of the Library of Congress, are included in this publication.
