"The Great Starvation Experiment is a gracefully written account of
one of the most inspiring stories of moral and political courage to
emerge from the Second World War. Tucker explores questions about
the nature of heroism and sacrifice that are particularly
provocative and relevant now, when Americans are again waging war
and facing difficult moral choices."
-- Thurston Clarke, author of Ask Not: The Inauguration of John F.
Kennedy and the Speech That Changed America
"Courage comes in many vessels. This captivating book recalls a
team of conscientious objectors who wouldn't fight -- but they
would starve in the service of humanity. Part science, part
philosophy, and pure human drama."
-- David Von Drehle, author of Triangle
"Not only has Todd Tucker uncovered an extraordinary and virtually
unknown story from World War II, he has told it in a masterful way.
The Great Starvation Experiment is absolutely first-rate."
-- Andrew Carroll, editor of the national bestselling War Letters
and Behind the Lines
"Unique and absorbing."
-- Alex Kershaw, author of The Longest Winter and The Bedford Boys
