About this title

Synopsis

Studies in Social and Economic History, Volume 35Based on intensive research in the archives of six countries, this book presents an in-depth analysis of Belgium's monetary and financial history during World War II. Exploring Belgium's financial and business links with Germany, France, The Netherlands, Great Britain, the United States, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the authors focus on the roles played in this complex wartime network by the Central Bank and private bankers in Brussels, by the Belgian government in exile in London, and by the Belgian minister plenipotentiary in New York.

Review

"The authors tell an important―and fascinating―story of the Belgian central bank and the Belgian government in Brussels and in London during the hazardous years of World War II. A Small Nation in the Turmoil of the Second World War is authoritative, wide-ranging, and objective, putting the Bank and the government in their full context of international relations."―Peter Mathias, Cambridge University
