Food Guide for War Service at Home (WWI Centenary Series)

This early work by Katharine Blunt was originally published in 1918 and we are now republishing it as part of our WWI Centenary Series. 'Food Guide for War Service at Home' is a fantastic work on the suggested uses of foodstuffs in America during the First World War. In Herbert Hoover's preface to this work he writes: 'For the purpose of diffusing this information this little book has been prepared under the direction of the Food Administration. By following the suggestions for food conservation herein contained every one can render his country an important war service. I am sure that all will be glad to do this.' This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
