Title: Churchill, munitions, and mechanical warfare
First published: 1997
Description: This study examines the development of Churchill's strategic thought and administrative actions in the last years of the First World War. As Minister of Munitions, Churchill's greatest contribution to the war effort was his comprehensive approach to the supply and strategy of mechanical warfare, trench mortars, tanks, and airplanes. His penchant for details allowed him to offer technical and tactical appreciations that challenged traditional military thought.

The Ministry of Munitions, under Churchill, became a vehicle for war direction.
