The Death of Grass by John Christopher
A crop blight offers the British a chance to apply to the UK the

I usually like to know very little about a book before I read it but am
now wishing I had read your review first. I put it down about half way
through but finished it today after randomly reading a recommendation elsewhere. I experienced similar surprise at the sudden rush to barbaric pragmatism and disappointed with the plot. But I was not surprised that
this genre is beloved by Dimwire. One generous star.
