About this title

Synopsis

"Introduction to the American Official Sources for the Economic and Social History of the World War" is a foundational reference work designed to guide researchers through the complex landscape of United States government records from the Great War era. Compiled by Waldo G. Leland and Newton D. Mereness, this volume provides a systematic survey of the archival materials that document the nation's mobilization and its profound economic and social shifts during the conflict.

The work meticulously categorizes official documents from various federal departments and specialized war agencies, offering a clear path for historians to explore the intricacies of wartime administration. From industrial production and labor management to transportation and food control, the sources described herein illuminate the unprecedented expansion of federal authority and the systematic organization of the American home front.

By highlighting the richness of these official sources, the authors provide an essential tool for understanding the institutional framework of the early 20th century. This guide remains a vital resource for scholars of military history, political science, and socio-economics who wish to delve into the primary evidence of how the United States navigated the challenges of a global total war.
