Prairie Forge: The Extraordinary Story of the Nebraska Scrap Metal Drive of World War II
James J. Kimble
In the wake of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt called for the largest arms buildup in history. A shortage of steel, however, quickly slowed the program's momentum, and arms production fell dangerously behind schedule. This book tells the story of the great Nebraska scrap drive of 1942.
