The War After the War

In the wake of the Great War’s shattered battlefields, a new conflict begins to stir—one fought not with rifles and shells but with tariffs, contracts and the very flow of global commerce. Drawing on firsthand interviews with ministers, industrialists and ordinary traders across war‑torn Europe, the author paints a vivid picture of a world whose economies are as bruised as its peoples, and whose future hinges on how the United States positions itself amid the shifting tides of international trade.

The narrative weaves together the grim realities of trenches with the stark calculations of boardrooms, urging listeners to consider how peace can be as destabilising as conflict when commercial rivalries erupt. By exposing the hidden “war after the war,” the book challenges us to think about preparedness not only on the battlefield but in the marketplace, where the stakes are the livelihoods of millions and the destiny of nations.
