Good Non-Fiction Books | William F. Brown

The Audio Book version of Our Vietnam Wars Volume 1 came out on Amazon’s Audible audiobook site a few days ago. Some people read, some people listen to audiobooks, and some do both. It’s a great listen, with almost 13 hours of Vietnam stories from the interviews I conducted.

As I told some of the 100 guys and gals whose stories are in the book, I tried to get Tom Selleck, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, and Meryl Streep to narrate their roles, but they were regrettably unavailable. Instead, I used the ever-versatile LA voice actor Eddie Frierson, who narrated four of my earlier e-books into audio books. Eddie is fantastic, and has proven many times over that he can provide hundreds of different voices and regional accents as needed. In LA, he has worked for many studios in movies and cartoons, providing voice-overs, specialty effects, and characcter voices.

“Freedom’s Forge” is an excellent book and a must read for anyone interested in business history. It is the story of how US business ramped up from a dead start during the depression and produced all those tanks, airplanes, and ships that won WW II not only for the United States but for Great Britain and Russia as well. It is the story of many people, but primarily Bill Knudsen, the assembly line expert and President of GM who Roosevelt called in 1940 to organize war production, and of Henry Kaiser, master builder and the father of the Victory and Liberty Ships and the west coast shipyards. It is the

story of B-17s, B-29s, tanks, guns, Rosie the Riveter, and mobilization of the US car companies. The weapons design, redesign, manufacturing plant layout, union problems, Washington politics, shortages of raw material, and every other problem you can think of is an amazing story of good triumphing over stupid. It is also the story of how determined businessmen like Knudsen fought interference from government bureaucracies, Congress, labor unions, and even the white house to get the job done to supply not only the US, but Great Britain and Russia as well. By the end of the war, GM alone outproduced Germany, Japan and Italy put together, and we can see in hindsight that Japanese Admiral Yamamoto was right. They had indeed awakened a ‘sleeping giant;’ and when Freedom’s Forge began producing arms, they did, they never stood a chance.
