• • World War II industry effort led by Ayn Rand-type characters, says historian 
Richard Sincere, The Examiner Capitalism  | The business executives and industrialists who are portrayed in [Arthur] Herman’s book [...] are larger-than-life characters who seem to spring from the pages of an Ayn Rand novel, an assessment with which Herman agrees. “What Ayn Rand understood,” he said, “and one of the lessons that you get from her work, which is in some ways is reflected in this book, is that what the arsenal of democracy was really all about wasn’t ships and tanks and planes, any more than national wealth or an economy is about oil wells and gold mines and factories and industrial output or goods and services.”   Published: 2012-07-01
