BOOK DESCRIPTION

"Based upon extensive archival material, this is a pioneering study of the impact of the famine that occurred in Greece during its occupation by German, Italian and Bulgarian forces in 1941 and 1942. Violetta Hionidou examines the politics of the food crisis, focusing on the famine's demographics and the effectiveness of relief operations. Her interdisciplinary approach combines demographic, historical and anthropological methodologies to present a comprehensive account of the situation--documented by the archives of the International Red Cross."
