Planning Armageddon
British Economic Warfare and the First World War
Nicholas A. Lambert
Explore a secret plan by the British Admiralty to win a rapid victory in the event of a war with Germany - economic warfare on an unprecedented global scale. This strategy aimed to exploit Britain's effective monopolies in banking, communications, and shipping, but was ultimately revised due to collateral damage concerns. Discover how this revisionist account overturns the conventional understanding of British strategy in the early part of World War I and stresses the importance of Clausewitz's political conditions of war in strategic policy analysis.

I highly recommend Nick Lambert's books: "Planning Armageddon: British Economic Warfare and the First World War" and "The War Lords and the Gallipoli Disaster: How Globalized Trade Led Britain to Its Worst Defeat of the First World War." – fuente
