From the dust jacket- "When you have read it [State of the Nation], you will know why men strike- refusing their sons equipment that might save lives; you will have talked to farmers and factory hands about how they will vote, what they expect of war and peace; you will feel that you have been part of the greatest industrial feat in history- America producing for war."
