Reviewer comment This book is a good complementary study to Crane Briton's A Decade of Revolution - it includes more on the economic activites in Europe during that period and has a wider focus on events in Europe as a whole.
The chapter titles show the content, chapter 5 is the centerpiece for the economic aspects of the war.
