Britain's War Machine: Weapons, Resources And Experts In The Second World War

In 'Britain's War Machine,' David Edgerton offers a comprehensive analysis of how Britain mobilized its scientific, technological, and industrial resources to support the war effort in the Second World War. The book challenges traditional narratives of British decline by emphasizing the robust design and production of armaments and the critical role of experts and the military-science complex.

It provides a nuanced historiography that highlights the complex relationships between the state, intellectuals, technocrats, and scientists during wartime.
