“An admirable state-of-the-arts report on what we know about how agriculture, population, technology, labor, industrial production, and public finance were affected by the war. [Milward] sets out some highly challenging findings concerning the rationale and effectiveness of economic strategy as applied by the main powers. . . . This book is a mine of information and arresting concepts.”—American Historical Review

“This remarkable book should be the standard work for a long time.”—Foreign Affairs
