The Giant Hand (Classic Reprint): Our Mobilization and Control of Industry and Natural Resources, 1917-1918 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Discover how American factories became a wartime engine that shaped policy, production, and victory. This book shows how industry and government joined to mobilize resources for World War I.
The Giant Hand explains how the United States organized its vast industrial base to meet the demands of a modern war. It covers the creation of central planning bodies, how purchases were coordinated with Allied needs, and how industry was guided to produce essential weapons, vehicles, and materials without sacrificing the nation’s normal life.
Readers will gain insight into the people, processes, and pressures that turned scattered factories into a coordinated war machine. It highlights the balance between national security and the preservation of American institutions, and it shows why early expectations of a quick, smooth mobilization gave way to meticulous planning and hard choices.
- How the War Industries Board and allied purchasing efforts shaped production and policy
- The roles of key figures and the interplay between government and industry
- Strategies to balance self-sufficiency with supplying Allies
- Lessons on preparedness, mobilization, and industrial cooperation in wartime
Ideal for readers of American history, military logistics, and policy history who want a clear view of how industry and government mobilized for war.
