"Late in February 1930 Owen Young journeyed by private railcar to Arizona. Young was at the height of his fame as a General Electric executive, as the founder of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and as an international statesman whose name adorned the just concluded Young Plan. Time magazine named him man of the year in 1929. He was bruited as a possible Presidential candidate in 1932. Discussion with his travelling companion, Everett Case, turned to Young's friend, J.P. Morgan Jr. [Jack Morgan], the senior partner of J.P. Morgan & Co. Young thought that it was a pity that Jack Morgan was so little known to the American public, for J.P. Morgan & Co. was "the most important banking house in the world with the power of affecting the lives of people in this country and throughout the world". A decade later, Morris Ernst, a prominent New York lawyer and the general counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union from 1929-55, wrote another Morgan partner, Russell C. Leffingwell. Ernst mused "I think your house has a responsibility that is practically superhuman, and assuming complete honesty and ability can never be met to the satisfaction of society." Young was an intimate of the Morgan partners, Ernst a critic who believed that the Morgan part in American life was baleful. Both agreed that J.P. Morgan & Co.'s influence was pervasive"--

Horn shows that victory followed not only from the ability to arm and feed mass armies but also from the capacity to raise money. Fighting the war imposed new demands on the belligerents, extending the power of the state and forcing cooperation among allies. Given their long tradition of hostility, adapting to these new realities was a wrenching process for Britain and France. Britain financed the war not only to win but also to preserve its prewar financial dominance; France financed it to survive and to ensure that the stability of the Third Republic was not threatened.

Did Ford SAF sabotage the German war effort by deliberately manufacturing fewer vehicles than they could have? Ford SAF claimed after the war that they did. Exploring the nature and limits of industrial collaboration in occupied France, Horn and Imlay trace the wartime activities of Ford Motor Company's French affiliate. The company began making trucks and engine parts for the French military; but from 1940 until Liberation in 1944 was supplying the Wehrmacht. This book offers a fascinating account of how the company negotiated the conflicting demands of the French, German and American authorities to thrive during the war. It sheds important new light on broader issues such as the wartime relationship between private enterprise and state authority; Nazi Germany's economic policies and the nature of the German occupation of France, collaboration and resistance in Vichy France, and the role of American companies in Occupied Europe.
