APEX OF GLORY

Sub title: BENZ, DAIMLER & MERCEDES-BENZ 1885 - 1955

Foreword: John Surtees MBE, Honorary President Mercedes-Benz Club (UK)

Author: Blaine Taylor

Publisher: Ulric Publishing

ISBN-10: 1-905142-06-4

ISBN-13: 978-1-905142-06-4

APEX OF GLORY details the history of the Daimler-Benz Car Company from its humble beginnings, through the period of Imperial Germany, into the Weimar period, and its phenomenal growth during the Third Reich. Research by Blaine Taylor shows how the company became uneasy about Germany’s possibility of winning the war. As early as 1942, they secretly developed a strategy, which would allow the company continued growth in the immediate post war years. Surviving Germany’s defeat in 1945, Daimler-Benz had reached the Apex of Glory just a decade later in 1955.

Approximately 380 pages. 450 photographs, the majority previously unpublished.

Special leatherbound limited edition restricted to 100 numbered copies also available at £275.

Price: £69.95

An adventure story of human ingenuity...unlikely ever to be repeated.

A detailed account of a remarkable journey through a different world. In the realm of automotive publishing, where the same old topics (MGB maintenance, anything to do with the Jaguar E-type, the I Spy Book of Cars) tend to be recycled, this is compellingly readable.

SIMON ARRON THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

’This adventure took place in an old war-time Willys MB Jeep back in 1958. In comparison, today’s style of off-roading is tame and uneventful.’ MARK ASKEW JEEP BOOKS LIMITED

’Roy Follows and Noel Dudgeon have achieved an extraordinary thing. The least we lesser mortals can do is read the fascinating story.’ MATTHEW PARRIS THE TIMES ROOM HOUSE OF COMMONS

’ As the organiser of the RAINFOREST CHALLENGE, one of the most demanding 4x4, off-road events in the world, I wish to salute Roy Follows and Noel Dudgeon for truly living out their passion for adventure and taking on a challenge of a lifetime.’ LUIS J A WEE FOUNDER OF THE INTERNATIONAL RAINFOREST CHALLENGE OF MALAYSIA
