About this book
Industrial diplomacy brings Joseph G. Butler to a France reshaped by the First World War. As a member of the American Industrial Commission, he records a visit intended to study French industry and develop cooperation with American manufacturers. The account begins with the French trade mission to the United States and the plans for a return visit, placing steel production, commerce and reconstruction alongside the experience of travel.
Factories, southern towns and places near the front share space in this personal account. At Gerbeviller, Butler recounts what local people told him about Sister Julie, who protected a temporary hospital and organized food for residents left homeless. He also describes visiting the convent and seeing damage to its walls.
