Published in 2006, 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 courses and politics of this food crisis, focussing on
the demography of the famine and the effectiveness of the relief
operations. Her interdisciplinary approach combines demographic,
historical and anthropological methodologies to offer a
comprehensive account of the famine. This book is the first to
explore the International Red Cross Committee archives which offer
new insights into the politics and practice of the relief
operations. Dr Hionidou argues that food was used as a propaganda
instrument by almost all of those involved including the British
and Greek governments as well as the occupying forces. This
important study makes a major contribution to current debates about
mortality and its causes during famines.
