Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A.: Univ Pr of Kansas, 1996. 376pp. Beating Plowshares into Swordsis the first volume ofnPaul Koistinen ambitious effort to compose a comprehensive and wide-ranging study on the economics of American warfare from the colonial period to the present. It will stand as the definitive work on a complex subject that until now has been superficially treated or completely ignored. Koistinen focuses not upon battlefields and battles but upon the means used to make and sustain the armies and navies that have fought in such horrific arenas. Drawing upon a vast array of sources in a number of diverse fields, he analyzes how America has mobilized itself for the conduct of war. He argues that to fully understand that process we must closely examine the complex interrelations among economic, political, and military institutions within the context of relentless modernization and technological innovation. In this first volume, Koistinen describes how an undeveloped preindustrial economy forced Americans to fight defensive wars of attrition like the Revolution and the War of 1812. By the time of the Mexican War, however, a gradually maturing economy allowed the United States to use a much more offensive-minded strategy to achieve its goals. The book concludes with an exhaustive examination of the Civil War. Clean. 1st Printing. Cloth. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
