Synopsis
Discover how American factories powered World War I and reshaped a nation’s economy for total war.
This detailed study examines the United States’ shift from neutrality to a full wartime economy in 1917–1918.

From the creation of key agencies to the daily realities of production, the book reveals the challenges, compromises, and strategic decisions that turned American industry into a decisive force. It emphasizes preparedness, prioritization, and the balancing act between supporting allies and meeting national needs.
- How the War Industries Board and allied commissions directed manufacturing and procurement.
- How industry was mobilized across sectors, from munitions to railroads and ships.
- How pricing, priorities, and policy shaped production and supply chains.
- How early wartime lessons influenced later industrial and military organization.
Ideal for readers of military history and economic mobilization, this edition offers a clear narrative of the U.S. transformation into a war-making nation.
