The War After the War

The author assesses the economic and social consequences of the Great War and argues that postwar recovery will hinge on commercial preparedness and international trade. He examines national responses, especially in Britain and France, recounts American business experiences abroad and practical mistakes in exporting, and describes the need for maintaining supplies and meeting foreign buyers' customs. Chapters analyze fiscal measures like saving for victory and the costs of glory, and profile political leadership and policies guiding reconstruction. Overall the work blends reportage, business advice, and political observation to outline challenges and opportunities facing nations and enterprises as military conflict gives way to peacetime commerce.
