About this product
Product Information
A century ago, the Soviet Union faced a catastrophic famine, brought on by the disruptions of the First World War and the Russian Revolution, draconian Soviet economic policies, and a severe drought. As millions of people faced starvation and hunger-related disease, the Russian writer Maxim Gorky issued an appeal for help, asking "all honest European and American people for prompt aid to the Russian people. Give bread and medicine." One person was uniquely situated to answer the call: Herbert Hoover, chair of the American Relief Administration (ARA), who had achieved worldwide fame as the organizer and administrator of large-scale humanitarian relief operations during and following World War I. American relief helped millions survive the famine of 1921-23. While the role of food aid has been well documented, Bread + Medicine focuses on the lesser-known story of America's medical intervention, including a large-scale vaccination drive, and treatment of famine-related diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and typhus and hunger-related deficiency diseases, especially among children. The ARA's medical relief program proved essential to the overall success of its mission. Bread + Medicine , richly illustrated with photographs, posters, and documents from the Hoover Archives, tells that story in vivid detail.

Reviews
"I was quite unaware of the degree of suffering, tragedy, and heroism playing out in Russia after the Great War. . . . Patenaude and Stevenson's beautifully researched tale is compelling reading." --Abraham Verghese, MD, author of Cutting for Stone "A story of generosity and tenacity. This book, strikingly illustrated with photographs, posters, and documents, focuses on the unsung yet vitally important battle against the ravages of disease and malnutrition in the midst of famine." --Mary Cox, assistant professor of international relations, Central European University "A beautifully compelling and deeply inspiring story of altruism and ingenuity at its best. . . . Essential reading for anyone interested in the human face of public health, medicine, and international relations." --Gary Darmstadt, MD, MS, associate dean for maternal and child health and professor of pediatrics at the Stanford University School of Medicine

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
