Více o knize
Focusing on the Bengal Famine of 1943, the book explores the complex interplay of political, economic, and military factors that led to a devastating famine driven by cash shortages rather than food scarcity. Wartime censorship has obscured this tragedy, which was exacerbated by hyperinflation in rice prices linked to military provisioning. Relief efforts were inadequate due to widespread revolt against British rule, and logistical challenges arose from food donations, revealing a profound alienation between the Bengali population and their colonial rulers.
