Trade Review
The book is well researched and is a useful addition to the history of the Second World War. -- G. C. Peden, University of Stirling, UK * The American Historical Review *
[Coombs' book] approaches the 'tank debate' from a largely unexplored direction ... With its fascinating cross-fertilization of social, military and economic history this will no doubt become the standard work on this area for some time. * The Second World War Military Operations Research Group *
Clearly, substantial effort and attention to detail accompanied this thesis turned monograph. * The Historian *
