Publisher's Synopsis
The War Of Steel And Gold is a historical book written by Henry N. Brailsford. The book explores the causes and consequences of World War I, focusing on the economic and political factors that led to the conflict. Brailsford argues that the war was primarily a struggle between two economic systems: gold and steel. The gold system, represented by the British Empire, was based on financial power and control of global trade. The steel system, represented by Germany, was based on industrial production and military might. The book provides a detailed analysis of the events leading up to the war, including the arms race, alliances, and diplomatic tensions. It also examines the impact of the war on the global economy and political landscape. The War Of Steel And Gold is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on 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.
