What's more powerful—a bullet or economics? "The Secret Weapon of the Great Powers" is a fascinating journey into the hidden mechanisms of power, where economic sanctions, blockades, and financial manipulation play no less a role than armies and navies.

How did sanctions become modern "weapons of mass destruction"? Why is economic pressure sometimes more destructive than war? And how did these hidden instruments shift the balance of power, determining the fate of nations and continents? Marcus Winchester tells the story of "economic weapons"—an instrument that has shaped the fate of global conflicts, from World War I to the present day.

In this book, you will learn how blockades became a new form of deterrence, what the world's greatest powers hide behind the scenes of their strategies, and why sanctions can not only maintain peace but also provoke conflict. This story, based on archival materials and analysis, will challenge you to rethink the world of contemporary politics.
