"Link gives a fresh analysis of an overlooked dimension of interwar history, tracing the singular influence of Ford’s innovations and ideas upon the final, cataclysmic stages of twentieth-century industrialization.
Forging Global Fordism allows us to better explore the relationship between industrialism, political ideology, and global competition, while also shedding important light on our tumultuous present moment."
---Justin H. Vassallo, Boston Review"[A] rich and nuanced industrial and ideological history, path-breaking in the way it both interrogates the meaning of Fordism as it emerged in the US and then was adopted and adapted in Germany and the Soviet Union between the 1920s and the end of the Second World War."
---Nelson Lichenstein, H-Diplo Roundtable"An ambitious and original study. . . .
Forging Global Fordism challenges received wisdom about the history of globalization and the nature of the Nazi and Soviet economies."
---Mary Nolan, Journal of Modern History"An engaging and provocative global history of Fordism, focusing in particular on the Nazi and Soviet auto industries. . . . This is a rich book on an important topic. It is both deeply researched, drawing extensively on Russian, German, and American archives (as well as British and Italian ones) and engagingly written, giving due attention to particulars while consistently keeping an eye on the larger picture."
---Mark A. Soderstrom, World History Connected
