The Battle for Rubber in the Second World War: Cooperation and Resistance

Year: 2013

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: As part of a broader study, John Tully has recently tackled the social history of rubber in the Second World War, at a time when control of this commodity assumed urgent strategic significance, due to the mechanisation of the world s armed forces. 1 This is a welcome development, but Tully s story leaves many crucial gaps. Moreover, his narrative pits grasping and greedy elites against a combative and heroic workforce, allowing for few or no shades of grey. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
