It's easy to underestimate the impact Chrysler’s revolutionary hemispherical-head V8 engine – or Hemi – has had on the world. It’s legendary, and this huge 340-page book does it full justice. There are hundreds of excellent colour images of the models it has powered, from the potent chromed, finned cruisers and muscle cars of the mid-20th-century US through to their high-performance modern day successors.
