Thanks to the development of the international wheat market during the late nineteenth century, the British government came to realize that the national dependence upon imported food had become the Achilles Heel of the British Empire. The book then shows how the disruption of the global wheat trade during the early months of the First World War exceeded the government's worst nightmare. By January 1915, the rising price of bread and consequent threat of social unrest required a political response. It came in the form of a seemingly unrelated event: the disastrous British attack at Gallipoli in the spring of 1915.

In so doing, the book offers a case study of grand strategic policy-making under pressure"-- |
