      abstract = {Food, and in particular the lack of it, was central to the  experience of World War II. In this richly detailed  history, Lizzie Collingham establishes how control of food  and its production is crucial to total war. Tracing the  interaction between food and strategy, on both the military  and home fronts, Collingham demonstrates how access to food  was a driving force within Nazi policy and contributed to  the decision to murder hundreds of thousands of "useless  eaters," and brings to light the fact that famine was not  only caused by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, but was  also the result of Allied mismanagement and neglect,  particularly in India, Africa and China. She also shows how  the war subsequently promoted the pervasive influence of  American food habits and tastes in the post-war  world.--From publisher description.},
