I'm looking for a book, ideally academic in nature on the subject of industrial mobilization. For example how Ford focused on building tanks (I think that's the history, could be wrong) over cars. However ideally the book isn't too ideological. Ideally just historical. Often when I come across this topic whoever is talking about it is trying to sell another type of government policy. That’s what I’m trying to avoid. I just want the history, the good, the bad and the ugly. Or at the very least two books representing opposing ideologies. A book on the subject within the fields of economic history would work too. Something that delves deep in the congressional history and policies developed would be wonderful as well. Either or, whatever comes to mind. Maybe what I’m looking for is not published yet, however I’d think this history would be covered in depth quite a bit. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Sorry for the post name, was originally going to write "question" but meant to replace that with "request", hit enter too soon.
Two books might be of interest to you:
Maury Klein, A Call to Arms: Mobilizing America for World War II
Paul A.C. Koistinen, Arsenal of World War II: The Political Economy of American Warfare, 1939-1945
One of the better single-volume introductions to this topic is Mark Harrison's The Economics of World War II: Six Great Powers in International Comparison which is an anthology on wartime mobilization. The editor of the book, Mark Harrison, is a specialist on the Soviet economy and has a number of papers available on academia.edu, which does require a registration to download them (most can be read though).
