These sometimes harrowing, frequently funny, and always riveting
stories about food and eating under extreme conditions feature the
diverse voices of journalists who have reported from dangerous
conflict zones around the world during the past twenty years. A
profile of the former chef to Kim Jong Il of North Korea describes
Kim's exacting standards for gourmet fare, which he gorges himself
on while his country starves. A journalist becomes part of the
inner circle of an IRA cell thanks to his drinking buddies. And a
young, inexperienced female journalist shares mud crab in a foxhole
with an equally young Hamid Karzai. Along with tales of deprivation
and repression are stories of generosity and pleasure, sometimes
overlapping. This memorable collection, introduced and edited by
Matt McAllester, is seasoned by tragedy and violence, spiced with
humor and good will, and fortified, in McAllester's words, with "a
little more humanity than we can usually slip into our newspapers
and magazine stories."
