This encompassing study traces the issues of international cartels from the early days of World War II through the occupation of Germany and Japan. It focuses attention on the Justice Department's Economic Warfare Section as it utilized its resources in uncovering economic and strategic information that could be used in the war effort, such as the selection of economic bottlenecks for bombing. Maddox examines how cartels such as I. G. Farben, Carl Zeiss, the Steel Cartel and others worked to harm U.S. strategic interests, and he details how cartel agreements allowed the Japanese to acquire critical technologies and strategic materials. Using newly released Justice Department records, this thorough investigation of decartelization captures the debate over implementation of the policy issues.
These exposures by both the Justice Department and the Kilgore Committee ultimately helped stimulate debate over the economic treatment of enemy nations in the postwar period. Despite an Allied decision in Potsdam to apply decartelization and deconcentration policies to Germany and Japan, the decartelization policy ran into difficulty in Germany with blatant attempts by the American Military Government to subvert it. Events in Japan followed a similar path. After first taking on the zaibatsu and other cartel-like business practices, policy would be reversed.

Cherished as one of the most thrilling sea adventures ever recorded, Mutiny on the Bounty has sold millions of copies and enthralled generations of readers around the world in the seven decades since its initial publication. The novel reprises a true story-the strange, eventful, and tragic voyage of His Majesty's Ship Bounty in 1788-1789, which culminated in Fletcher Christian's mutiny against Captain Bligh-and reaches peaks of narrative excitement that mark the book indelibly as a modern classic.

James Norman Hall (1887–1951) was an American author best known for the novel Mutiny on the Bounty with co-author Charles Bernard Nordhoff (1887–1947) an English-born American novelist and traveler. Mutiny on the Bounty is the title of the 1932 novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, based on the mutiny against Lieutenant William Bligh, commanding officer of the Bounty in 1789. It has been made into several films and a musical. It was the first of what became "The Bounty Trilogy", which continues with Men Against the Sea, and concludes with Pitcairn's Island.

MEN AGAINST the SEA

American authors and journalists Hall (1887-1951) and Nordhoff (1887-1947) both served in the Lafayette Flying Corps during WWI and, though neither man had known the other during the war, were asked to collaborate on a history of the unit published in 1920. They then rented a house together back in the US until commissioned by Harper's Magazine to write travel articles set in the South Pacific. They travelled to Tahiti for research and inspiration and ended up staying there, Nordhoff for 20 years and Hall for life. This book, their second collaboration, was serialized in Harper's in 1920-21 then published in book form. The pair are best remembered for their jointly written Bounty Trilogy (Mutiny on the Bounty,1932; Men Against the Sea,1933 and Pitcairn's Island, 1934).
