This business history analyzes the connections between private
business, disarmament, and re-armament as they affected arms
procurement and military technology transfers in Eastern Europe
from 1919 to 1939. Rather than focusing on the negotiations or the
political problems involved with the Disarmament Conferences, this
study concerns itself with the business effects of the disarmament
discussions. Accordingly, Schneider-Creusot, Skoda, Vickers, and
their respective business activities in Eastern European markets
serve as the chief subjects for this book, and the core primary
sources relied upon include their unpublished corporate archival
documents. Shifting the scope of analysis to consider the business
dimension allows for a fresh appraisal of the linkages between the
arms trade, disarmament, and re-armament. The business approach
also explodes the myth of the 'merchants of death' from the inside.
It concludes by tracing the armaments business between 1939 and
1941 as it transitioned from peacetime to war.
