About This Item
Athens, Ohio: Ohio University Press, 1985. Paperback. Near Fine. viii, 191 p.; 23 cm. Paperback with illustration by Kathe Kollwitz. "In his study of the Allied blockade of 1915-1919, Vincent examines the rationale and impact of this first large-scale use of food as a weapon in the twentieth century. Vincent demonstrates that the collapse of the German war effort was induced as much by prolonged hunger as by military reversal. . . . The maintenance of the hunger blockade, Vincent argues, was an ill-advised and unjust action which contributed to the radicalization of post-war germany, the collapse of the Weimar republic, and the eventual rise of National Socialism." -- cover. Scarce. In Near Fine Condition: cover is lightly rubbed; clean and tight.
