The Deluge

In "The Deluge," Adam Tooze explores the profound impact of World War I on global society, economy, and politics, particularly highlighting the shift of financial power from London to New York. He challenges established narratives surrounding the war and its aftermath, examining how the demands of the conflict transformed nations and led to unforeseen changes, including the rise of fascism. With a focus on the United States' entry into the war in 1917 and its implications for global stability, this work offers an original perspective on the legacy of the Great War.
