A pioneering study of the impact of the Greek famine of 1941 and 1942, first published in 2006.
Violetta Hionidou has taught at Southampton, Crete and the Ionian Universities. She has published widely on the demograpic and social history of Modern Greece.
"Violetta Hionidou, lecturer in modern history at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, has written a superb book. Famine and Death in Occupied Greece, 1941-1944 is a comprehensive, multidimensional account and examination of the most difficult years in Greece's nearly two-century history." - History "...there is an embarrassment of riches here: methodologically the book includes both excellent political and demographic archival work as well as field research... Hionidou's book is a substantive contribution to the history of World War II and to understanding famine, the experience of food scarcity, and historical memory." - Journal of Military History "Famine and Death epitomizes what scholarship should be." Diana Gilliland Wright, Canadian Journal of History
