From publisher description:
"Cannibalism is a powerful taboo, and yet the missionary in the cooking-pot remains a source of amusement. This book is an attempt to take an honest and objective look at the history of anthropophagy, and to analyze the ambivalent attitudes which often underlie its practice. Mick Anglo begins his gruesome journey with a geographical survey of anthropophagy amongst primitive peoples around the world, who often devoured enemy captives as part of a ritual of revenge. Within civilized societies anthropophagy has usually only occurred as a result of extreme hardship and starvation. The author examines the mental and physical problems faced by survivors as it becomes clear that to feed off the flesh of their dead companions is their only hope of staying alive. In this study of man's darker nature, Mick Anglo seeks to recognize the true forces and motivations behind both the practice and the fear of cannibalism."
