The Cost of War British Policy on French War Debts, 1918–1932
Arthur Turner
Author text to follow
“Turner shows that any chance of a post-war settlement which might have satisfied both honour and the need to sustain the world economy was thwarted because the major debtors and creditors were thrashing about in a crazy web of claim and counter-claim.” TLS
“Historical studies of foreign policy
and international relations have too often suffered from a separation
of politics and diplomacy from economics and finance. The great
merit of Dr Turner’s book is that it sets out to break this
down and pay as much attention to the records of the Treasury and
the Bank of England as to those of the Foreign Office. The book
is as well written as it is researched, and the result is not only
a new view of one of the most important issues in inter-war British
policy towards France, but at the same time a demonstration of how
much is to be gained by making sure, in principle, that as much
prominence is given in any study of international relations to economics
as to politics and security.” Lord Bullock FBA, St Catherine's
College, Oxford
