PDF-(EBOOK)-Beating Plowshares into Swords: The Political Economy of American Warfare, 1606-1865

Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears let the weak say I am strongJoel 310Beating Plowshares into Swords inaugurates an extraordinarily ambitious effort by Paul Koistinen to compose a comprehensive and wideranging study on the economics of American warfare from the colonial period to the present When completed this multivolume project will stand as the definitive work on a complex subject that until now has been superficially treated or completely ignoredKoistinen 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 innovationIn 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 US to use a much more offensiveminded strategy to achieve its goals The book concludes with an exhaustive examination of the Civil War a conflict that both anticipated and differed from the total wars of the industrialized era Koistinen demonstrates that the North relied upon its enormous economic might to overwhelm the Confederacy through a strategy of annihilation while the South bungled its own strategy of attrition by failing to mobilize effectively a much lessdeveloped economyWith this and subsequent volumes Koistinens sweeping synthesis provides a panoramic view that enlarges and in significant ways alters our vision of the turbulent relationship between war and society in America. albionswordscom True False 2005 Albion Armorers Inc albionswordscom All Medieval swords weighed at least 12 pounds FALSE Most Medieval swords weighed around 25 lbs even long handandahalf and twohanded swords weighed less than 4 lbs Medieval sword Cameron M.
