"War Taxation: Some Comments and Letters" is a book by the renowned German born, American investment banker Otto Heinrich Kahn. Written during the First World War, Kahn examines American policy on taxation and opines that then new measures to raise taxes for funding the war effort, particularly on the wealthy are not well thought out. He warns that this would precipitate a situation of capital outflow to nations such as Canada with lower tax rates. Kahn also addresses the widespread speculation that "appears to prevail amongst not a few people the strange delusion that America's entrance into the war (First World War) was fomented by moneyed men, in part, at least, from the motive and for the purpose of gain."

Includes 4 figures, 13 maps and 4 tables. Renowned Military Historian Dr Christopher Gabel investigates the effects of the Railroad on the strategies employed by both the Union and Confederate Generals of the Civil War. According to an old saying, “amateurs study tactics: professionals study logistics.” Any serious student of the military profession will know that logistics constantly shape military affairs and sometimes even dictate strategy and tactics. This excellent monograph by Dr. Christopher Gabel shows that the appearance of the steam-powered railroad had enormous implications for military logistics, and thus for strategy, in the American Civil War. Not surprisingly, the side that proved superior in “railroad generalship,” or the utilization of the railroads for military purposes, was also the side that won the war.
