Born in Berlin in 1915, he left Germany as a refugee in 1936 and studied at the University of Geneva, which awarded him the Licence es Sciences économiques. Later he came to the United States, serving in the U.S. Army during World War II and continuing his studies at New York University, where he received the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in economics. He traveled extensively in the Middle East while gathering material for this book.
The editor, Professor Laurence Evans of the State University of New York at Binghamton, supervised the final preparation of the manuscript, adding U.S. State Department archival materials which had not yet been made public at the time of the author’s research.

Hardcover. xix, [5], 248 p. Map. Notes. Bibliography and Other Sources. Index. Foreword by Commander Sir Robert Jackson, who was Director General of the Middle East Supply Centre, 1941-1945. From an on-line posting: " World War II agency in Cairo set up to coordinate supply and transport problems of the Middle East. The economic strength of the Middle Eastern countries was necessary to the success of the Allied war effort. A multitude of agencies-British and American, military and civilian-had roles in ensuring that Middle Eastern economies remained viable and strong. In April 1941, the British established the Middle East Supply Center (MESC) as a clearing-house for all matters of civilian supply in the Middle East; it reported directly to the ministry of war transport in London. The goal was to regulate and control shipping and commerce among the countries of the Middle East, to eliminate nonessential shipping and trade, and to avoid the political and military hazards posed by populations made hostile because of hunger, unemployment, and the other problems of disorganized economies. The U.S. Lend-Lease Act of 1941 sent massive amounts of American-made matériel, and after May 1942, the United States joined the British in the MESC, using it to coordinate the American war effort in the Middle East." The author died in 1964 and Professor Evans supervised the final preparation of the manuscript, and added in U.S. State Department archival materials that had become public after the author's death.
