The War Lords of Washington

Om The War Lords of Washington

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 Reviews)
