Two well-established authors...have combined efforts to create a truly masterful narrative of the gigantic task of mobilizing the home front for a war of unprecedented scale. The story that they tell is as dynamic as the unstable fronts of the war and yields numerous surprises....The wealth of archival sources they have brought to bear, command of the secondary literature, and strongly mounted argument combine to create a book that not only provides a concise account of a major historical event but also gives us a new and convincing interpretation....Most impressively, throughout the book Goldman and Filtzer do an exemplary job of toggling between the grand scale of events and what they meant to individual people....Their narrative is gripping....We now have an authoritative, multifaceted account of the largest labor mobilization in human history.
