In the history of mankind, armies fought at the behest of a ruler to conquer and expand territories. In due course, war crafts were devised and war logistics were developed. However, armies food remained much the same as ever for a very long time. Eventually science and technology played a crucial role in bringing army foods and nourishment to the expected level of modernity, commensurate with advancements in other features of the war craft. Armies, Wars and their Food traces the evolution of military rations and provides insights into the concept of nutrition for military from the point of a food scientist. The principal theme of the book is the historical development of armies and the supply and delivery systems prevalent at different periods of time. Providing a ready source of historical perspectives on the armies, it discusses the role of science and technology in instigating improvements in military ration. The book will appeal to students of food science and nutrition, army, navy and air force establishments, food industry laboratories and research and development organizations. General readers interested in the history of science and military history will also find this book useful.

These ten papers from two Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference (2007) sessions bring together a growing body of new archaeological evidence in an attempt to reconsider the way in which the Roman army was provisioned. Clearly, the adequate supply of food was essential to the success of the Roman military. But what was the nature of those supply networks? Did the army rely on imperial supply lines from the continent, as certainly appears to be the case for some commodities, or were provisions requisitioned from local agricultural communities? If the latter was the case, was unsustainable pre

"Food is critical to military performance, but it's also central to social interaction and fundamental to our sense of identity. The soldiers of the Great War didn't shed their eating preferences with their civilian clothes and the army rations, heavily reliant on bully beef and hardtack biscuit, were frequently found wanting. Nutritional science of the day had only a limited understanding of the role of vitamins and minerals, and the men were often presented with a diet that, shortages and logistics permitting, was high in calories but low in flavour and variety. Just as now, soldiers on active service were linked with home through the lovingly packed food parcels they received; a taste of home in the trenches. This book uses the personal accounts of the men themselves to explore a subject that was central not only to their physical health, but also to their emotional survival."--Publisher's website.

These sometimes harrowing, frequently funny, and always riveting stories about food and eating under extreme conditions feature the diverse voices of journalists who have reported from dangerous conflict zones around the world during the past twenty years. A profile of the former chef to Kim Jong Il of North Korea describes Kim's exacting standards for gourmet fare, which he gorges himself on while his country starves. A journalist becomes part of the inner circle of an IRA cell thanks to his drinking buddies. And a young, inexperienced female journalist shares mud crab in a foxhole with an equally young Hamid Karzai. Along with tales of deprivation and repression are stories of generosity and pleasure, sometimes overlapping. This memorable collection, introduced and edited by Matt McAllester, is seasoned by tragedy and violence, spiced with humor and good will, and fortified, in McAllester's words, with "a little more humanity than we can usually slip into our newspapers and magazine stories."
