Such action has been considered a critical component of international affairs for centuries. In this study Nicholas Tracy considers the motives for attack on maritime trade, and assesses its strategic utility. He begins with a discussion of the strategic purposes of this kind of activity, and goes on to consider its applications in the twentieth century: during the First World War, through the Belligerents' Rights dispute and the rise of the 'New Mercantilism, ' in trade control between the wars, and on several fronts in the Second World War. Finally he examines instances of naval blockade and attack on shipping since 1945, and offers a number of conclusions about its effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Tracy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802059740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802059741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.52w x 0.91d","brand":"Nicholas Tracy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448958300415,"sku":"9780802059741","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a0f315a-8814-4600-b951-8c2c4a96a03d.jpg?v=1777261346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/attack-on-maritime-trade-nicholas-tracy-9780802059741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
