By William Sitwell Ep 2 This book follows the events that lead to the creation and operation of The Ministry of Food and the man who shaped it: Frederick James Marquis 1st Earl of Woolton, commonly known as Lord Woolton. A man of humble origins compared to the Westminster elite, used his entrepreneurial genius and firm ideals of social justice to run a clock work machine to ensure that Britain survived Hitler’s attempt to starve it by ensuring supplies, rationing and distributing them. This is a book about the work of one of Britain’s most transcendent leaders whose name has almost been forgotten in history. ——————————————————— Links mentioned on today’s episode: ›To get "Eggs or anarchy!" - Click here ›To get some wartime memorabilia - Click here ——————————————————— Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hungrybookspodcast/ web: www.passthechipotle.com/hungrybooks email: hello@passthechipotle.com Twitter: @rocio_carvajalc Make a donation to the show: Buy me a cup of coffee! ☕
