New York Times best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Arthur Herman pens this fascinating look at how two businessmen turned the U.S. into a military powerhouse during World War II. In 1940, FDR asked General Motors CEO William Knudsen to oversee the production of guns, tanks, and planes needed for the war. Meanwhile, industrialist Henry J. Kaiser presided over the building of “Liberty ships” - vessels that came to symbolize America’s great wartime output.

Although heavy with statics, a great look into the American titans that supplied the tools to win WWII. Being a Manufacturing guy, I enjoyed it.

I had always wondered how the USA achieved such massive amounts of war materials in such a short time. Well this book describes in great details the men who started the transition, to the many Americans who put everything together in record time. What I found amazing is before the war, we were the 18th ranked army in the world and in a handful of years became a world superpower. The numbers of war materials produced is staggering and in such a short time!!! This book will listened be listened to again

Industrial Power of the USA is defined here
