Interesting reading. Developed on the premise that the Allies won primarily by the shear volume of military armaments thrown against the enemy. Granted leaders had to coordinate all the manpower, training and assets against the enemy. However, the author tends to focus instead on the manufacturing of military assets that won the war. The numbers presented are impressive. Considering all of the challenges war leaders had between a past victorious enemy, internal politics, some poor military leaders and other less-than-positive variables, the author's argument seems plausible. With any reading about WWII, I think it is important to keep a balanced perspective. Learn the other perspectives on how the war was waged before relying on a single book to draw wide-ranging conclusions. ( )
