James Bacque is the author of two books accusing then-General Dwight Eisenhower of allowing the starvation of hundreds of thousands of German POWs and approximately ten million German civilians (see Eisenhower and German POWs).
Bacque claims massive starvation was a direct result of the policies of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, which ruled as exclusive Military Occupation Government over the partitioned German lands since the surrender of the Third Reich under Hitler's successor, Karl Dönitz, on May 8, 1945 till 1949.
Bacque has been criticized for having no training in history or document analysis, he has been accused of having miscalculated his figures and his books attacked as sympathetic to the Nazis.
