Summary Even in the harsh conditions of total war, food is much more than a daily necessity, however scarceit is social glue and an identity marker, a form of power and a weapon of war. This collection examines the significance of food and hunger in Germanys turbulent twentieth century. Food-centered perspectives and experiences from below reveal the social, cultural and political consequences of three conflicts that defined the twentieth century: the First and Second World Wars and the ensuing global Cold War. Emerging and established scholars examine the analytical salience of food in the context of twentieth-century Germany while pushing conventional temporal frameworks and disciplinary boundaries. Together, these chapters interrogate the ways in which deeper studies of food culture in Germany can shed new light on old wars.
