Notes
Index

"Drawing on a world-spanning network of never-before-released research, this explosive book examines head-on the policies and politics that have kept and continue to keep starving peoples from feeding themselves at home and all over the world." [jacket blurb, US pbk, September 1979]

"A lucid and comprehensive account of a much-neglected problem. It not only illuminates the agricultural aspects of the situation, but also the political, social and economic factors... an excellent analysis of why starvation exists in the world." -- (in the Colorado Sun )

"A real eye-opener. Essential reading." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1979).

Highly Recommended.
