Abstract

Nicholas Mulder's book, "The Economic Weapon," provides a comprehensive history of sanctions during the two World Wars. The book explores the evolution of economic warfare from the Allied blockades in the First World War to the use of sanctions by the League of Nations in the interwar period and the imposition of sanctions during the Second World War. Mulder argues that sanctions were seen as a means of weakening an adversary's military capabilities and enforcing international norms. The book also examines the ethical challenges and legal implications of sanctions, as well as their effectiveness in preventing war. Overall, "The Economic Weapon" offers new insights into the role of sanctions in the international history of the first half of the twentieth century. [Extracted from the article]
