Arsenal of Democracy
Summary
In Arsenal of Democracy: The American Automobile Industry in World War II, award-winning historian Charles K. Hyde details the industry's transition to a wartime production powerhouse and some of its notable achievements along the way. Hyde examines several innovative cooperative relationships that developed between the executive branch of the federal government, US military services, automobile industry leaders, auto industry suppliers, and the United Automobile Workers (UAW) union, which set up the industry to achieve production miracles. He goes on to examine the struggles and achievements of individual automakers during the war years in producing items like aircraft engines, aircraft components, and complete aircraft; tanks and other armored vehicles; jeeps, trucks, and amphibians; guns, shells, and bullets of all types; and a wide range of other weapons and war goods ranging from search lights to submarine nets and gyroscopes. Hyde also considers the important role played by previously underused workers - namely African Americans and women - in the war effort and their experiences on the line. Arsenal of Democracy includes an analysis of wartime production nationally, on the automotive industry level, by individual automakers, and at the single plant level. The book is published by Wayne State University Press. "The definitive history of Detroit's role in World War II." (Detroit Free Press) "This well-written book is one of the most important studies of industrial mobilization to appear in a long time." (Michigan Historical Review) "Masterful study of automobile makers and parts suppliers who shifted gears to achieve miracles of military production in World War II." (Patrick Malone, professor emeritus, Brown University)

The Last Legend
Summary
Long ago, the One True God abandoned the world. Now, in His absence, His ancient nemesis has begun a final campaign to plunge the world into eternal darkness. The only hope of salvation lies with two unlikely heroes. Beamer the falliwagn is perfectly content living his tranquil life tucked away in his underground burrow in the banks of the Rapid River. But when the River floods and destroys his home, he is forced into the wide world with only his precious Enchanted Sword and his faithful companion, Sniff. Fleeing to his cousin's home in the nearby mountains, they meet a lost young woman with amnesia and a wizard who tells them that the River's flooding was only a portent of more terrible things to come. For the Shadow, the ancient enemy of the Creator, has returned to the world with the intention of destroying it and recreating all of reality. The Shadow's main target - the Queen Beyond Time, second only to the Creator and guardian of the Knot that holds reality together. She alone has any chance of resisting the Shadow and defending the Knot. Unfortunately, the Queen is the amnesiac young woman found by Beamer, with no knowledge of who she is or of the power she possesses. Can a small group of peace-loving falliwagns defend her against an all-powerful god - or will the Knot be unraveled, and the world remade into a hell of eternal pain and damnation? The Last Legend is an enchanting epic fantasy in the grand tradition of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
