    There was a recent ABC 'Late Night Live' segment on this which can be heard here:

    "The Potato in World History

    The UN has declared 2008 the Year of the Potato. John Reader has written a book which answers the question of why the humble spud is so important. It turns out that no other crop is as nutritious, or as productive. And its presence, or absence, has determined the fate of nations."
