A biography of the German-born Jewish architect who, from the 1880s through the early 1940s, designed elegant homes, factories for Henry Ford, and industrial plants to support the United States' war effort. His formal education ended when he was 12, he was colorblind, and fired from his first architectural job for "lack of talent."
