Description
First published in 1934, Merchants of Death is a critical examination of the international arms industry during the interwar period. The term "merchants of death" was used to describe industries and banks that supplied and funded the First World War.
This book, originally published by Taylor & Francis Group, uses this epithet to expose the war profiteering practices of those involved in the arms trade. With a focus on the Senate hearings of 1936 by the Nye Committee, it presents a detailed history of how governments have been used to profit from the exploitation of others' lives and property.
Written as a passionate attack on those who would use government for personal gain, Merchants of Death provides an authoritative account of war profiteering that is suitable for academic study and citation. The book offers a scintillating history of this often-overlooked aspect of international relations.
