The Triumph of Unarmed Forces 1914-1918

"The Triumph of Unarmed Forces 1914-1918" provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of the economic blockade of Germany during the First World War. Written from the unique perspective of M.W.W.P. Consett, who served as the British Naval Attaché in Scandinavia during the conflict, this work examines the complex logistical and diplomatic challenges involved in cutting off enemy supplies. The book explores how neutral nations inadvertently or intentionally facilitated the flow of essential goods to the Central Powers, thereby influencing the duration and outcome of the global conflict.

By detailing the flow of food, raw materials, and commerce, Consett illustrates the profound impact of economic pressure as a weapon of war. He argues that the "unarmed forces" of trade and supply were just as pivotal as traditional military maneuvers on the battlefield. This historical account offers deep insights into the intersection of maritime law, international relations, and naval strategy. "The Triumph of Unarmed Forces 1914-1918" serves as an essential resource for readers interested in the hidden economic dimensions of the Great War and the evolution of modern blockade tactics.
