In the depths of the Great War, with millions dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. The heart of the financial system shifted from London to New York. The infinite demands for men and materiel reached into countries far from the front. The strain of the war ravaged all economic and political assumptions, bringing unheard-of changes in the social and industrial order. A century after the outbreak of fighting, Adam Tooze revisits this seismic moment in history, challenging the existing narrative of the war, its peace, and its aftereffects. From the day the United States enters the war in 1917 to the precipice of global financial ruin, Tooze delineates the world remade by American economic and military power. Tracing the ways in which countries came to terms with America's centrality--including the slide into fascism--The Deluge is a chilling work of great originality that will fundamentally change how we view the legacy of World War I"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wilson, Woodrow, $d 1856-1924 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Influence 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Social aspects 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Economic aspects 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z United States 650 0 $a World politics $y 1919-1932 650 0 $a Balance of power $x History $y 20th century 650 0 $a Economic history $y 1918-1945 650 0 $a International relations $x History $y 20th century 941 $a 1 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20160304010610.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD6B6E04E1D611E59B37A7B1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
