By Mariya Grinberg, associate professor of political science and MIT Security Studies Program affiliate
Cornell University Press · 2025
"Trade in War" is an urgent, insightful study of a puzzling wartime phenomenon: states doing business with their enemies. To explain why states trade with their enemies, Grinberg examines the wartime commercial policies of major powers during the Crimean War, the two World Wars, and several post-1989 wars.
From Summer 2026 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News). Cover image via Google Books.
