Of all the documents we read for "Wheat at War" (available here: www.amazon.com/Wheat-War-Al...), a favorite was from the French Foreign Ministry archives: the list of delegates to the 1916 Paris Economic Conference of the Allied Nations.
It seems Jean Monnet forgot to pay his registration fee ;)

The test is simple: open any book to page 99. The contents *should* convey the book as a whole. How well did it do? As we explain in the below post, the test worked...to a degree :)

The First World War is a foundational event to the study of international relations. Consequently, it's been seemingly OVER studied.
But that's a big reason that we're proud of the book "Wheat at War". It's hard to say something new about WWI, but I think we did! We hope others feel that way too!

To write "Wheat at War", we had to acquire A LOT of documents. A favorite is this letter from Clementel (🇫🇷) to Runciman (🇬🇧). It kick started the negotiations to create the Wheat Executive. It also illustrates the value of "always reach out to the archives" -- as they sent the document for free 😉!

"If this war is to be won, better teamwork between the Allies must be effected."
Those words could well apply to yesterday's "Washington Summit", but they were actually spoken over 100 years ago by Woodrow Wilson's advisor, Edward House.
It's a key quote from our new book "Wheat at War"

Our book, "Wheat at War", will be available this Friday (link soon). What's it about? In many ways, the book's narrative is captured in the below graph (indeed, this graph appears early in the introductory chapter).

Writing "Wheat at War" (to be released this Friday) was special for a host of reasons (including working with @rosellacappella.bsky.social). One of the biggest reasons for me is that it ties together so much of the research work I have done to this point in my career
