Hunger: A Modern History
Rigorously researched, A Modern History draws together social, cultural, and political history, to show us how we came to have a moral, political, and social responsibility toward the hungry. Vernon forcefully reminds us how many perished from hunger in the empire and reveals how their history was intricately connected with the precarious achievements of the welfare state in Britain, as well as with the development of international institutions committed to the conquest of world hunger.

The writing is not good, the topic is interesting but the book is all over the place. I kept thinking "I want to read a book about THIS" whenever he mentioned something interesting, it's promising but the book does not deliver.
