The 18 authors included in the book investigate eight major areas of economic warfare and sanctions: the Anglo-French wars of the long eighteenth century, the American Civil War, Britain versus Germany in two World Wars, the interwar sanctions on Italy, interwar sanctions followed by economic warfare against Japan, trade and technology restrictions on the Soviet bloc in the Cold War, and sanctions on the white minority regimes of South Africa and Rhodesia.
