Synopsis

War control and reconstruction in a world of upheaval—the book that unpacks how governments redirected economies during World War I and what comes next after the war.

This study explains how war-time controls reshaped industry, transportation, and trade. It also outlines the major post-war challenges, from restoring normal economic life to reestablishing relations with other nations.

  • Learn how the United States created an informal war governance system, including the Council of National Defense, the War Industries Board, and the Food, Fuel, and Railroad administrations.
  • See how control extended into railroads, telegraphs, shipping, and even price setting, as the country mobilized its resources for maximum efficiency.
  • Understand the shift from war mobilization to peacetime reconstruction and the questions nations face as they return to normal life.
  • Explore how neutral countries were drawn into wartime practices and what that means for post-war policy and industry.
Ideal for readers of history and public policy who want a clear, concise view of how wartime controls reshape economies and what reconstruction might require.
