Book Title: Food for War: Agriculture and Rearmament in Britain before the Second World War Book Author: Alan F. Wilt Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Oxford University Press (November 15, 2001) Language: English ISBN-10: 0198208715 ISBN-13: 978-0198208716 Book Description Publication Date: November 15, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0198208715 | ISBN-13: 978-0198208716 This groundbreaking study charts Britain's food and agricultural preparations in the 1930s. It shows that in this sector, in contrast to other areas of the economy, government plans were already well-developed by 1939 and examines how the measures of the 1930s not only set the stage for World War II but also contributed to a more robust British agriculture in the decades that followed.  Reviews Food for War sheds light on the complex effort that was required to create a workable wartime food strategy and it acts as a useful reminder that rearmament should be seen in its widest context. Erin Gill, Twentieth Century British History This book is the fruit of assiduous research in the UK and the USA, and Alan Wilt has filled a long-standing gap in the literature most comprehensively. It is a notable addition to our understanding of the links between food, farming and rearmament in the 1930s. English Historical Review About the Author Alan F.
