Food and Conflict in Europe in the Age of the Two World Wars

Ranging across Europe, from Scandinavia and Britain to Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union, this volume explores conflicts over food in the age of the two world wars and the legacies of those conflicts. Food shortages and famines, fears of deprivation and visions of food security, and protests and regulations were a shared European experience in this period. Food and Conflict in Europe in the Age of the Two World Wars follows the political, economic and cultural factors that shaped different histories, highlighting the role of ethics and ideologies, and the dynamic relationships between civil society and state, and between consumers, retailers and producers.
