¹ A good deal of insight into the British attitudes toward the boards (British hopes and reactions were less sharply divided than ours) can be found in Hancock, W. K. and Gowing, M. M., British War Economy (London, 1949)Google Scholar; the contrast between this history and the work under review is illuminating. Among other studies providing interesting side lights on the boards may be mentioned Sherwood's, Robert E.Roosevelt and Hopkins (New York, 1948)Google Scholar and Nelson's, Donald M.Arsenal of Democracy (New York, 1946)Google Scholar. In general, the account and interpretation to be found in Industrial Mobilization for War are paralleled in much more developed form in Dr. Rosen's work.
