The Mess in Washington - Manpower Mobilization in World War II

?A clearly written and thoroughly researched scholarly effort on what may seem to be a narrowly specialized aspect of the Second World War. But Flynn is well aware-- and a reader quickly learns--that the subject of manpower mobilization affords not simply an instructive view of backstairs politics in the Roosevelt administration, but a confrontation with some of the most fundamental and difficult questions for a democratic nation.... Highly recommended for all college and university libraries.?-Choice
