‘William writes with irresistible wit and energy . . . A compelling
portrait of one of the unsung, enigmatic heroes of the Second World
War’
*Michel Roux OBE*
‘The battles of the Second World War have been pored over in minute
detail; not so the battles waged on the Kitchen Front. The food
writer William Sitwell’s account of Lord Woolton, the man in charge
of the Ministry of Food during the war, is an entertaining
corrective to this.’
*The Times*
‘Eggs or Anarchy is as much a beguiling study of social mobility as
it is a hard war memoir … there is much to enjoy – with barely a
powdered egg in sight – in this biography of the man who was
responsible for arguably the healthiest national diet of all
time’
*Sunday Telegraph*
‘Eggs or Anarchy meticulously completes the backstory of the war.
In this absorbing book Sitwell proves Woolton’s genuine intentions,
absolves him for his tough line and also presents a portrait of a
man whose style and approach to problems is still highly
instructive. It is often said that generally the British were never
healthier than in the war years. How we need a Woolton now’
*The Spectator*
‘Fascinating biography’
*Radio 4 Start the Week*
‘A wonderful account of how Lord Woolton, Minster for Food, managed
to keep Britain fed during World War Two… a riveting read full of
delicious historical details about how one unassuming man battled
against all odds to keep bellies full and morale high despite the
dreaded food rationing. Excuse the pun, but I could have eaten this
book up with a spoon’
*Red Magazine*
