      abstract = {"How did economic and financial factors determine how  America waged war in the twentieth century? This important  new book exposes the influence of economics and finance on  the questions of whether the nation should go to war, how  wars would be fought, how resources would be mobilized, and  the long-term consequences for the American economy.
