A Capitol Hill reporter tells the inside story of the production
war waged in Washington by the dollar-a-year appointees who,
despite the doctrinaire New Dealers and obstructionist Army
department, were able to bring the war effort to ultimate victory.
Here are the inter-departmental feuds, personality clashes,
confusions of authority, and lack of faith in the courage and
loyalty of the American people. The story is told in terms of the
war lords:- Knudsen, Wallace, Robert Horton, Robert Nathan, Bernard
Baruch, the two Charles Wilsons, Reuther, Maverick, Donald Nelson -
and the alphabetical agencies that sprang up after 1940. This is an
unpalatable view of the Army- a more than usually favorable view of
Nelson - an overall of success in spite of bungling. (Kirkus
