Abstract

De la boutique artisanale à l’atelier flexible, de la proto-industrie aux restructurations, les quatre siècles d’histoire des arsenaux de terre sont ceux des ingénieurs de l’Armement aux sources de la continuité de l’État et des « ouvriers de l’État » dont les privilèges, comme ceux de l’entrepreneur, redessinent l’Ancien Régime, et les statuts successifs les Empires et les Républiques, bref, les consensus nationaux. Les archives nationales et syndicales retracent l’élaboration de la rationalisation du travail ou du concept de « nationalisation » des programmes de gauche. Le syndicalisme naissant, le basculement vers le pacifisme des militants de 1918, l’engagement résistant de ceux de 1940, les révocations des années 1950, le pluralisme syndical de la fin du xxe siècle sont éclairés sous un nouveau jour. Étrange destin que celui d’hommes de paix travaillant pour la guerre ! Illustrissimes, l’on ignorait un peu de ce qu’ils furent : Danton, Thomas, Tillon, Gonin… Inconnus, ils sont parfois essentiels : Gervaise et Voilin, précurseurs de la CGT et de la gauche, les ingénieurs visionnaires Danzel ou Enjalbert… une multitude a contribué à façonner notre monde, militants des villes de manufacture et d’arsenal ou simples héritiers de dynasties ouvrières… Douze larges extraits de documents originaux dont 10 inédits, 32 illustrations, 24 graphiques et tableaux introduisent le lecteur dans cet univers qui n’est autre que le sien… et où la volonté politique l’emporte sur la fatalité, au rebours des idéologies dominantes.

Abstract

In this evocative book, Angela Woollacott analyzes oral histories, workers' writings, newspapers, official reports, and factory song lyrics to present an intimate view of women munitions workers in Britain during World War I.Munitions work offered working-class women—for the first time—independence, a reliable income, even an improved standard of living. But male employers and trade unionists brought them face-to-face with their subordination as women within their own class, while experiences with middle-class women co-workers and police reminded them of their status as working class.Woollacott sees the woman munitions worker as a powerful symbol of modernity who challenged the gender order through her patriotic work and challenged class differences through her increased spending power, mobility, and changing social behavior.

Abstract

For this book a distinguished team of economists and historians-R. W. Davies, Paul R. Gregory, Andrei Markevich, Mikhail Mukhin, Andrei Sokolov, and Mark Harrison-scoured formerly closed Soviet archives to discover how Stalin used rubles to make guns. Focusing on various aspects of the defense industry, a top-secret branch of the Soviet economy, the volume's contributors uncover new information on the inner workings of Stalin's dictatorship, military and economic planning, and the industrial organization of the Soviet economy. Previously unknown details about Stalin's command system come to light, as do fascinating insights into the relations between Soviet public and private interests. The authors show that defense was at the core of Stalin's system of rule; single-minded management of the defense sector helped him keep his grip on power.

Abstract

The First World War is often called the ‘chemists’ war’. But few realise precisely how, or the extent to which modern chemistry became a significant factor in the struggle, and would be in turn deeply shaped by it. Gathering momentum at first, by 1916, success in applying scientific knowledge to ‘frontline and factory’ became a measure of a nation’s capacity to win an industrial war. In the end, the titanic contest was won in large part through the command of raw materials and industrial output. This book represents a first considered attempt to study the factors that conditioned industrial chemistry for war in1914-18. Taking a comparative perspective, it reflects on the experience of France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Britain, Italy and Russia, and points to significant similarities and differences. It looks at changing patterns in the organisation of industry, and at the emerging symbiosis between science, industry and the military, which contributed to the first ‘academic-military-industrial’ complex of the 20th century. At the same time, it reflects on the world’s first, and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to monitor ‘dual-use’ chemical technologies, and so restrict the proliferation of an important category of weapons of mass destruction.

Abstract

France ranks as the world's third largest arms exporter and supplies arms and military technology to over a hundred countries. This book exposes the compelling aims and interests--national independence, security, economic welfare, foreign influence, grandeur--that explain the nation's successes in arms production and transfers.Originally published in 1987.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
