United States Army in World War II.
In cost and bulk, the munitions manufactured by and for the Army's Ordnance Department during World War II exceeded the output of all the other technical services of the Army combined, and in cost they rivaled that for the aircraft and ships with which the war was fought. The process of getting these munitions to fighting forces all over the world—of storing them until needed, of keeping track of them, and of keeping them in repair—was almost as complicated as their manufacture. In writing the story of these two main aspects of the Ordnance mission on the home front, the authors have produced a record of enduring value; for whatever the character of military procurement now and in the future, the problems of producing and distributing military equipment on a very large scale remain much the same. Since private industry and civilian labor inevitably are called upon to contribute enormously to the making of munitions on any large scale, civilian as well as military readers should find much in this volume to instruct them. Perhaps its greatest lesson is the long lead time required to get munitions into full production, and therefore the need for calculating military requirements with the utmost accuracy possible. It is imperative, in this age of international tension and partial mobilization, that all of the intricacies of military production be clearly understood if the nation is to get the maximum of economy as well as security in preparations for its defense. |

United States Army in World War II.
The U.S. Army fought World War II with matériel much of which was developed in the decade prior to our entry, particularly in the period following the German blitz in Poland. Our efforts to develop munitions to the point where our armies could cope on equal terms with those of potential enemies are covered here in this, the first of three projected volumes on the history of the Ordnance Department in World War II. How well the Ordnance Department succeeded in matching the Germans in quality continues to be a matter of debate both within the Ordnance Department itself, and between the using arms and the Department. That the battle of quantity was won—with the help of a superb industrial machine — can hardly be denied. This volume, the result of diligent research by Dr. Constance McL. Green and her associates, should interest not only military men but also scientists, industrialists, and laymen in general. Among other things, it shows the urgent necessity of a directed, continuous, and intensive research program and the danger in failing to recognize and profit by developments abroad. Also shown is the inherent time interval between the drawing board and the production of the end item in quantity. |

В книге в биографиях и судьбах выдающихся исследователей представлена история российской науки (в основном биологии), а через нее - история России досоветского и советского времени. В истории российской науки драматические траектории движения мысли часто сочетаются с трагическими судьбами исследователей. Проблемы нравственного выбора, судьбы героев и преступления злодеев наполняют эту историю.
Жизнь науки не определяется лишь противоборством героев и злодеев. Возможно, в парадоксальном смысле истинными героями науки являются конформисты. И среди ученых, жизнь которых описана в этой книге, много выдающихся конформистов. Не обязательно посвящать очерки всем злодеям. Не обязательно упоминать всех выдающихся конформистов. Но героев - героев надо бы назвать всех. Сколько бы не отмечать незаменимость конформистов, именно герои - первые фигуры в истории.
Рассказы очевидцев, документы, новые материалы и уже известные факты создают живой облик людей, жизнь которых - пример нравственного выбора в ситуациях, когда такой выбор кажется невозможным.
Книга адресована самому широкому кругу читателей - всем, кто интересуется историей отечественной науки и небезразличен к проблемам нашего Отечества. Ее также с интересом прочтут историки, науковеды, представители органов государственного управления, ответственные за научно-техническую политику. |
