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.

Great look at the "Arsenal of Democracy".

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

This is a great as well overdue book on the mobilization for World War II. The usual narrative is FDR and the new dealers created the Arsenal democracy through centralized planning. Nothing could be further from the cruise. This book tells the story provides the citations And is a needed addition to understand the efforts leading up to an end to World War II

Superb history

I can't imagine the amount of research required to write this book so well and so thorough. I learned a lot and also really enjoyed the narration. Lots of lessons to be learned here, especially for business owners and politicians.

Magnificent!

Really well done. It's a great look into a somewhat untold part of WWII history. Narration is great. It isn't distracting from the story but dynamic enough to keep you from zoning out. would definitely recommend

Great Story and Performance

Great, detailed history of our commercial and industrial involvement in WWII. The cost was enormous, but this highlights the hard work required to get our industrial engine moving to fight and win the war. Interesting accounts of the politicians doing what they do: empire making and trying to change the narrative.

Love this book! Fantastic narration!

Fascinating History!

I learned so much, it was amazing to find out how much I did not know about the greatest generation. And the people behind the victories in Germany and Japan. What an amazing historical book
