War for Profits is a seminal exposé on the global armament industry and the financial motivations behind international conflict. Written by the influential pacifist Otto Lehmann-RussbÃ1/4ldt, the work delves into the intricate web of what was often termed the Bloody International-a cross-border collaboration of arms manufacturers who profited from the devastation of war regardless of national allegiance.
The book provides a detailed analysis of how private economic interests influenced political decisions and fueled the arms races of the early 20th century. By examining the logistical and financial structures of the weapons trade, Lehmann-RussbÃ1/4ldt presents a compelling argument for the necessity of international regulation and the oversight of private industry during times of crisis. War for Profits remains a cornerstone of anti-war literature, offering a critical look at the intersection of global finance and militarism. It serves as an essential historical document for readers interested in the history of the arms trade, the origins of modern peace movements, and the systemic causes of global instability.
