      abstract = {The history of the Ministry of Munitions is one of the  most extraordinary and instructive episodes in modern  British history. Within less than three years, David Lloyd  George and his successors transformed the face of British  industry and created the largest government department the  county had ever seen. As many as 1,600,000 men and 800,000  women were employed on protected munitions work on behalf  of the Ministry. Control was exercised over the iron,  steel, chemical, and engineering industries. Over 15,000  firms were engaged on munitions work. A third of them were  'controlled establishments', giving precedence to  government contracts and employing labor on conditions  prescribed by the Ministry. More than 200 factories were  either nationalized or specially built for munitions work.},
