Description
The remarkable story of Britain's wartime food crisis is revealed in Eggs or Anarchy. Written by award-winning food writer and restaurant critic William Sitwell, this book tells the heroic tale of how Lord Woolton, Minister for Food, fed the nation during World War II. With supply routes under attack from the Axis powers and resources scarce, Lord Woolton faced a daunting task: to fulfill his promise to the British people that there would be food on the shelves each week. Persuading the public to manage on limited rations was one thing, but maintaining supplies in time of crisis proved even more challenging. This book sheds new light on the crucial role played by Lord Woolton in securing Britain's food supply during a critical period in history.
