Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed examination of the inception and achievements of the British Ministry of Munitions during World War I. It shows how the department, under the leadership of Edwin Montagu, dramatically increased the production and quality of munitions, despite Britain's initial lack of preparedness for a large-scale war. The book describes how the Ministry's success was due to its effective collaboration with the War Office, its innovative designs for weapons and ammunition, and its labor policies, which included dilution, the training of new workers, and the extensive employment of women. The author concludes that the Ministry of Munitions played a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory by ensuring a steady supply of essential war materials.
