Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the United States government's defense program during World War II, specifically concerning the conversion of consumer industries to wartime production. The author, who played a key role in the program, provides a firsthand account of the challenges and controversies involved. The book examines the conversion of industries such as textiles, refrigerators, and nylon to wartime production. The author argues that delays and resistance to conversion hindered the war effort and resulted in shortages of essential materials. The book sheds light on the impact of the conversion program on small businesses and the difficulties faced by government agencies in coordinating such a massive undertaking. The author presents a detailed analysis of the decision-making process within the War Production Board, revealing conflicts between government officials, industry representatives, and military leaders. Through specific examples, the book illustrates the complexities of balancing civilian needs with the demands of war. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges and successes of government-led industrial mobilization during wartime. It provides a timely reminder of the importance of effective coordination, strategic planning, and cooperation between government, industry, and the military.
