132 Porch, Conquest of Morocco, and ‘Bugeaud, Gallieni, Lyautey: the development of French colonial warfare’, in Paret (ed.), Makers of modern strategy, 388–95, puts Lyautey in his place. See also Bidwell, Morocco under colonial rule, 12–25; Le Révérend, Lyautey ; P. Lyautey (ed.), Lyautey l’africain, for his correspondence; Rivet, Lyautey et l’institution du protectorat français au Maroc, which is exhaustive but organized thematically, and therefore hard to use specifically for the First World War.

204 Precise figures vary, see Dignan, Indian revolutionary problem, 48–9, and Sareen, Indian revolutionary movement, 106–10. Both Dignan and Sareen place the mutiny firmly in the context of the Ghadr revolution. Beckett, Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research, LXII (1984), 132–53, sees the issue as primarily professional, as does Omissi, Sepoy and the Raj, 149. Harper and Miller, Singapore mutiny, is the fullest account. See also Murfett, et al., Between two oceans, 125–44.

1 The only recent general treatment of the subject is Hardach, First World War, ch. 6. Balderston, Economic History Review, 2nd series, XLII (1989), 222–44, is important but focuses on Britain and Germany only. Soutou, L’Or et le sang, a work of considerable intelligence, is concerned primarily with war aims. However, his essay, ‘Comment a été financé la guerre’, in La Gorce (ed.), La Première Guerre Mondiale, makes salient observations in a brief compass. Of the older literature, Bogart, War costs and their financing, and Knauss, Die deutsche, englische, und französische Kriegsfinanzierung, are comparative and helpful.
