Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - While the world focused on the battlefields of the Second World War, a quiet, catastrophic atrocity was unfolding in British India. In 1943, nearly three million people in the Bengal province starved to death. This was not the result of a severe drou…ght or an unavoidable crop failure; it was a devastatingly efficient, man-made logistical disaster.Terrified of a Japanese invasion of India, the British colonial government implemented ruthless 'denial policies.' They systematically confiscated and destroyed local rice stocks and civilian boats to prevent them from falling into enemy hands. Simultaneously, despite mass starvation in the streets of Calcutta, the British War Cabinet, under Winston Churchill, continued to aggressively export Indian grain to feed well-supplied Allied troops in other theaters.This narrative breaks down the horrific colonial economics of the famine. We explore the bureaucratic apathy, the wartime inflation that priced the poor out of survival, and the deliberate political choices that weaponized hunger.Confront the darkest shadow of the Allied victory. Discover how imperial wartime logistics coldly sacrificed millions of colonial subjects in the name of global strategy.
