    Samuel J Watson, Paul A C KoistinenARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2000

    Katherine B Smith, Karl Friedrich Smith et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1998

  • The “Industrial-Military Complex” in Historical Perspective: World War I

    Open AccessPaul A C KoistinenARTICLEThe Business History Review1967Cited by: 11References: 7
