6 Wars. 10 Recipes. 60,361,024 Dead. Here is a documentary about war in the 20th Century as you’ve never seen it: through the eyes of the people who cooked, and the soldiers who ate. Six wars: World War II, Algeria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, the Balkans and Chechnya. We learn about recipes, about improvisation when rations are lacking, about what it’s like to cook for (and poison) the enemy. The stories told range from hilarious to horrifying, from curious to touching. This is a must-see for anyone interested in food, history, or the military.
