Drawing on recently released Soviet archival materials, Hunger and
War investigates state food supply policy and its impact on Soviet
society during World War II. It explores the role of the state in
provisioning the urban population, particularly workers, with food;
feeding the Red army; the medicalization of hunger; hunger in
blockaded Leningrad; and civilian mortality from hunger and
malnutrition in other home front industrial regions. New research
reported here challenges and complicates many of the narratives and
counter-narratives about the war. The authors engage such difficult
subjects as starvation mortality, bitterness over privation and
inequalities in provisioning, and conflicts among state
organizations. At the same time, they recognize the considerable
role played by the Soviet state in organizing supplies of food to
adequately support the military effort and defense production and
in developing policies that promoted social stability amid
upheaval. The book makes a significant contribution to scholarship
on the Soviet population's experience of World War II as well as to
studies of war and famine.
