“A staggering picture of the totally inadequate financial war plans, the miraculous money creation during the war and the paralysing aftermath of this mismanagement.”
— De stem van het Boek, dec 25th 2018
"Brilliant and very accessible overview work of an important subject. Crystal clear, without jargon, [the author] analyzes sources of financing: taxes, war loans and running the banknote press. No one who wants to know more about the First World War than pictures, testimonies and battles can go around this book.”
— H.H.M. Meyer, Biblion
"I was reluctant to read this, being no economist and the subject appearing dry. However, Debts Without Redemption proved both an interesting and important study by a financial expert... a work in which technical terms are well explained, personalities described and enjoying an occasional dash of humour! Highly recommended.”
— Michael Lucas (Western Front Association)
"A solid textbook about a largely neglected theme.”
