Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the shadowy world of the international arms trade at the beginning of the 20th century. The author explores the intricate web of connections between powerful armament companies, government officials, and prominent figures in British society. The book reveals how these companies, often appearing independent, are in fact linked through complex networks of shared ownership and interlocking directorates. This investigation shines a light on the hidden influence wielded by these companies, as they manipulate political tensions and international relations to secure lucrative contracts. The book goes beyond a mere exposàof corruption, exploring the broader social and economic implications of this trade. The author highlights how the arms race is driven not by genuine national security concerns, but by the insatiable hunger for profits and the perpetuation of a "patriotic superstition." The book raises critical questions about the role of these companies in shaping political agendas and fueling militarism, while exposing the tragic consequences of their actions for the populations caught in the crossfire. By tracing the history of the international arms trade, the author reveals its inherent contradictions and exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of a system that profited from war and violence while claiming to protect national interests. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
