- Summary:
- Lambert (Royal United Services Institute, UK) states in his introduction: "This book offers a radical reinterpretation of the nature and significance of the relationship between economics and sea power before and during the First World War." The British had a weapon that they didn't use: disruption of the global credit network and disabling of the enemy's financial system. This study explores the context of the "weapon's" development and the circumstances and decisions that inhibited its use. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
