The monograph explores the evolution of the synthetic nitrogen industry as a precursor to the modern chemical industry across Europe, the United States, and Asia. It delves into the international developments post-World War I, highlighting new technologies that emerged alongside the Haber-Bosch process. The author emphasizes the strategic significance of fixed nitrogen for munitions and agricultural productivity, detailing its impact in Italy under Mussolini and in the Soviet Union under Stalin, as well as its early adoption in Japan and its role in colonial Korea's industrialization.
