How American Business Produced Victory in World War II
Arthur Herman - 2012-05-08
Goodreads Rating
This book takes us back to World War II, revealing how two extraordinary American businessmen, William Knudsen and Henry J. Kaiser, helped mobilize business leaders across the country to create the "arsenal of democracy" that propelled the Allies to victory. "Freedom's Forge" vividly re-creates American industry's finest hour, when the nation's business elites put aside their pursuit of profits and set about saving the world. Featuring behind-the-scenes portraits of key players, this book is a rarely told, magnificent industrial saga that sheds new light on the epic achievements of American business in helping win the war.
