Any comprehensive book out there about American industry during World War II similar to Adam Tooze's book "Wages of Destruction" about the German war economy?

Here's a book I haven't read yet, but read the review and it is on my Amazon 'Wish list'
Keep from All Thoughtful Men: How US Economists Won WWII

Just when I get the hang of a game, I buy two more... :)

Richared Overy's Why the Allies Won covers many aspects of the economic side. It's a very good comprehensive summary.

Thank you for the tips!

I guess the Allies won because they had Tracker.

Finally! Has its flaws, but it's still a good read.

Now, if I can only get some comprehensive book about the Japanese and Chinese war effort...

This book will be published in July. Looks like it would be comprehensive.
