Item description from seller

Neuware - WHO FOUNDED ROLLS-ROYCE Inside the Clashing Personalities, Engineering Breakthroughs, Tragedies, and Bold Decisions Behind a Global IconTwo men. Two completely different worlds. One meeting that changed automotive history.Today, Rolls-Royce represents extraordinary wealth, quiet power, handcrafted luxury, and engineering excellence. Its name has become so powerful that people call exceptional products 'the Rolls-Royce' of their field.But how did two surnames become a worldwide symbol of perfection The answer begins with a remarkable contrast.Henry Royce grew up facing financial hardship, worked as a newspaper seller and telegram boy, and fought his way into engineering with limited formal education. Charles Rolls was born into wealth, educated at Eton and Cambridge, raced automobiles, sold expensive imported cars, and became fascinated with the dangerous new world of aviation.They should have had little reason to meet.Then Henry Edmunds brought them together in Manchester in 1904.What followed was bigger, stranger, and more dramatic than the familiar story of two men creating a luxury-car company.WHO FOUNDED ROLLS-ROYCE takes you behind the famous badge to uncover the people, machines, triumphs, tragedies, and risky decisions that built an international icon.Inside, you'll discover: - Why Henry Royce's frustration with an automobile helped change his future- How Charles Rolls turned speed, connections, and salesmanship into opportunity- The overlooked roles of Henry Edmunds and Claude Johnson- How the Silver Ghost built a reputation for extraordinary reliability- Why aviation transformed the company forever- How the Merlin became connected with legendary wartime aircraft- The engineering gamble that pushed the business into financial collapse in 1971- How Rolls-Royce survived nationalisation and corporate separation- The extraordinary Volkswagen and BMW battle over factories, trademarks, and one priceless name- How Goodwood rebuilt the marque for a new century- Why Spectre brings the story full circle into the electric ageThis is not simply a book for car enthusiasts.It is for entrepreneurs, engineers, history lovers, business readers, aviation enthusiasts, innovators, and anyone fascinated by how great companies are actually built, nearly destroyed, and rebuilt.If you've ever wondered who really created the legend behind the badge, why the name survived its founders, and how more than a century of reinvention turned it into a global symbol of excellence, this story is for you.Get your copy today and discover the remarkable history behind two surnames the world never forgot.…
