Industrial Mobilization, Business and Labour

Any study of industrial mobilization must begin with Kennedy's official history of the Department of Munitions and Supply, which describes the processes and institutions of government control of wartime production. This should be read along with Bothwell and Kilbourn's biography of C.D. Howe, who by the end of the war was being described as "the Minister of Everything," and C.P. Stacey's Arms, Men and Governments, listed under "Military Policy and Strategy" in the Government and the Military section, which provides a detailed discussion of the government's control of the economy.
