Originally published in 1948, this book investigates the general economic problems of non-European primary economies during the Second World War. Prest examines how India, the Middle East, Nigeria and Trinidad contributed to the war effort and the principal reactions to their contribution, whether of workers, commodities, equipment or reductions in civilian consumption. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the overlap between war and economics and the role played by non-European countries in aiding the European war effort.
