Summary

This groundbreaking study charts Britain's food and agricultural preparations in the 1930s. It shows that in this sector, in contrast to other areas of the economy, government plans were already well-developed by 1939 and examines how the measures of the 1930s not only set the stage for World War II but also contributed to a more robust British agiculture in the decades that followed.

Author Biography

Alan F. Wilt is Emeritus Professor of History at Iowa State University.
