Herring: A Global History looks at the environmental, historical, political, cultural and culinary background of this highly prolific and easily caught fish.
For such a small fish, the herring has played an enormous role in history. Since the Middle Ages battles have been waged for it; international economic alliances have formed over it; a number of major cities owe their initial prosperities and structural foundations to it. Unquestionably, political powers have risen and fallen with the herring’s own rise and fall in population.
