Recenzii
Churchill's American Arsenal should be essential reading for every officer aspiring to higher rank and required for every general officer independent of branch or duties.
Exhaustively researched, this reflection on ingenuity, scientific development and transatlantic co-operation is a welcome addition to World War II literature.
A serious academic, well referenced work that would inform anyone interested in the course of the Second World War.
Brilliant analysis
fascinating
I much enjoyed Churchill's American Arsenal. My grandfather Winston Churchill believed in forging alliances and fostering innovation. This book celebrates the principles by which he lived and led.
A terrific 'history in the middle' that focuses on the innovators who worked between the leaders and the front lines.
Ferreiro has penned another masterly history. A lively account of the vast and vital partnership between American and British scientists.
A brilliant analysis of the critical role played by inventive minds and massive machine shops in winning the Second World War. Ferreiro combines technological expertise with historical insight to assess the complex (and occasionally troubled) relationship between individuals and nations that enabled Britain and America to triumph.
Ferreiro brings the sensibilities of engineering and design to this brilliant discussion. Bravo!
Gripping and well-researched, Ferreiro's book traces the extraordinary history of Anglo-American cooperation in the Second World War. By illuminating gamechanging events from the past, it gives us a guide to the promise and practice of such cooperation in future wars and crises.
An accessible and rich account of collaboration across the Atlantic.
Ferreiro delivers a powerful book that is timeless in the lessons it offers—past, present, and future.
Insightful, original, and infinitely readable, this is a must-have!
Accessible and very readable
Americans who think that the US arsenal of democracy single-handedly defeated the Axis are gravely mistaken about the past, and poorly positioned to think about the future. Better security will come not from insular efforts, but from strong alliances and transnational collaborations.
