This book serves as both an artistic representation and a documentary account, showcasing war-related industrial activities across America. It reflects the technological advancements and industrial efforts that were harnessed during the war, capturing a specific era marked by significant upheaval and effort. In the book, Pennell provides detailed lithographs that depict the various stages of war production, including shipbuilding, ammunition manufacturing, and the operations within expansive factories. Accompanied by his personal notes, the illustrations highlight his unique perspective on the "Wonder of Work" being carried out across the nation. Throughout the text, he emphasizes the tremendous energy and complexity of war production, while also commenting on the demographic shifts, such as the limited involvement of women in heavy industrial work compared to their European counterparts. Pennell's drawings not only document industrial activity but also reflect his ambivalence toward war, intertwining admiration for human ingenuity with criticism of the destructive nature of the conflict.
