Any comprehensive book out there about American industry during World War II similar to Adam Tooze's book "Wages of Destruction" about the German war economy?

Richared Overy's Why the Allies Won covers many aspects of the economic side. It's a very good comprehensive summary.

Thank you for the tips!
I guess the Allies won because they had Tracker.

Finally! Has its flaws, but it's still a good read.

This book will be published in July. Looks like it would be comprehensive.
