RICHARD A DOMZALSKI
5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, interesting read about progress in the country during WWII.

Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm not a big government person but it was interesting to read about what the government was trying to do during World War II to advance production in the country, and to see the positive attitudes people had about industry at the time. I would love to retrace the author's path traveling around the country to try to rediscover the places he visited and see what's left of them after all these years. He is a very good writer and I am looking forward to reading other books by him. Even though this is a collection of articles written for magazines, it makes a coherent book and an interesting read, particularly for history buffs.
