In 34 papers, authors draw on research and firsthand field experience in many parts of the world to explore the use of hunger as a political weapon. They also discuss strategies to counter inequitable food distribution in such situations, consider the role of humanitarian organizations, and review policies that could be used to combat hunger. Action Against Hunger is an international organization, founded in 1979 in France, that works to assist victims of human- made famines. This book is the group's second report on global issues of hunger. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
