Ep 2
"Eggs or Anarchy, The remarkable story of the man tasked with the impossible: to feed a nation at war" by William Sitwell 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 Hitlerβs attempt to starve it by ensuring supplies, rationing and distributing them. This is a book about the work of one of Britainβs most transcendent leaders whose name has almost been forgotten in history.
