Excerpt from The Balance Sheet of the Nations at War On the other hand, the combined debt of the Entente Allies is only per cent of their wealth, while the combined debt of the Teutonic Allies is per cent of their wealth. Interest charges upon the debt of the Entente Allies is per cent of their national income, while that of the-teutonic Allies is l per cent of the national income. While exact figures are not available, it is a well known fact that the surplus food producing sections of the world are practically all controlled by the Entente Allies either directly or through their control of the seas. The same thing is true to a very great extent in regard to the metals and coal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The World's War Debt: A Record and Analysis of the Financial Obligations Left by the War, in Their Relation to the World at Large For the present, therefore, the balance sheet of the war is an obscure one, with the losses tangible and the gains yet to be fully determined. In this volume we have sought to deal with a single item on the tangible side of the war's balance sheet - that item which is made up of the indebted ness of the nations. The reader will find in the following pages material that has been brought together for the pur pose of information. The need for a statistical summary of the finances of the recent struggle was the sole incentive in carrying out the work. It is hoped that what we have done will prove to be of real and lasting value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The last six years have witnessed a virtually unending debate over U.S. policy toward Iraq, a debate that is likely to continue well into the new administration and perhaps the next, notwithstanding recent improvements on the ground. Too often, however, the debate has been narrowly framed in terms of the situation in Iraq and what steps the United States should take there next, leaving the broader impact of the war on American interests largely overlooked. Ultimately, though, the success and failure of the war will have to be judged in terms of its overall contribution to U.S. national security, including those repercussions that extend far beyond the borders of Iraq. This book addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive evaluation of the consequences of the Iraq war for the national security of the United States. It is aimed at both those who have not yet made up their minds about the merits of the war and those who wish to ground their opinions in a clearer understanding of what effects the war has actually had. Balance Sheet examines both how the war has advanced or retarded the achievement of other important goals of U.S. national security policy and its impact on the ability of the United States to pursue its security interests now and in the future. Individual chapters by expert authors address such key issues as the war on terror, nuclear non-proliferation, stability in the Middle East, the health of the U.S. military, America's standing in the world, and U.S. public opinion. By doing justice to the full range of stakes involved, this book not only reframes the debate over the Iraq war but provides a necessary foundation for future U.S. policymaking toward Iraq and beyond.
