Description

Freedom's Arsenal: The Story of the Automotive Council for War Production is a book published in 1950 by the Automobile Manufacturers Association that details the American auto industry's massive mobilization for WWII, shifting from cars to producing tanks, aircraft, jeeps, and ammunition. The council was formed in 1942 to coordinate this industrial effort, and the book chronicles the factories' retooling, the sharing of expertise, and the transformation of Detroit and the surrounding areas into the "Arsenal of Democracy" that was crucial for Allied victory.
