The emergence of the motor car transformed the twentieth
century. This illustrated book examines the earliest
history of the motor age, explaining the first attempts
to develop a self-propelled road vehicle. Often these
early pioneers employed strange and dangerous tactics in
their quest for the motor car, but nonetheless by 1914
and the outbreak of the First World War, the broad
outlines of the modern car were firmly in place. This
book investigates the social history of the early motor
age, and the love-hate relationship which developed
between the motorist and the general public, as well as
the politics that lay behind the liberation of motoring
from the crippling legislation that existed at the time.
Discussing the technical progressions in accessible
language, Stuart Hylton considers the development of the
cars and the impact of motor racing, as well as revealing
many of the characters - both heroes and villains - who
shaped the dawn of the motor age.
