Crease from page top to bottom on rear flap inside book. This is an account of how we lost a fight for democracy at home while winning a victory over fascism on the battlefields of Europe and Asia. The fight we lost was fought in Washington, and the issue was how American business and the American people were to be organized for the super-human production effort that was recquired for victory. The fight was between those who believed that a democracy at war should be a cooperative effort of all the people, of big and little business and labor alike, and those who wanted a limited war to be fought in such a way as not to threaten any vested interest of big business or any privilege of the War or State Departments. Catton's story is centered largely in the War Production Board, but it ranges over many other wartime agencies engaged in directing production and in informing and deceiving the public about the state of the war effort. It is a vivid picture of savage in-fighting behind closed doors, of power politics in the White Hosue and on Capitol Hill, of frenzied appeals and propaganda to the people. And it is a story of warring personalities, many of them still in the limelight (1948) -- General George Marshall and Senator Harry Truman and Vice-President Henry Wallace. Above all, this book has pregnant meaning for an America spending its greatest peacetime budget on defense and arguing fiercely over how to make democracy work at home and abroad.
