Publisher's Synopsis
The War of Steel and Gold is a historical book written by Henry N. Brailsford. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to World War I and the economic and political factors that contributed to the conflict. The author explores the complex relationships between the major European powers, including Germany, France, and Britain, and the role of imperialism and nationalism in shaping their policies. Brailsford also delves into the impact of industrialization and technological advancements on the arms race and the subsequent devastation of the war. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the causes and consequences of one of the most significant events in modern history.Ten years ago if we had invited statesmen and experts to define the tasks of the British army, they would have answered unanimously that we are obliged to maintain a large and costly land force primarily because we hold India and must prepare for its defence. By two treaties during this period our military position in India has been transformed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
