About this product

Product Information

During a Biblical seven years in the middle of the nineteenth century, fully a quarter of Ireland's citizens either perished from starvation or emigrated in what came to be known as Gorta Mor, the Great Hunger. Waves of hungry peasants fled across the Atlantic to the United States, with so many dying en route that it was said, you could walk dry shod to America on their bodies. In this sweeping history Ireland's best-known historian, Tim Pat Coogan, tackles the dark history of the Irish Famine and argues that it constituted one of the first acts of genocide. In what The Boston Globe calls his greatest achievement, Coogan shows how the British government hid behind the smoke screen of laissez faire economics, the invocation of Divine Providence and a carefully orchestrated publicity campaign, allowing more than a million people to die agonizing deaths and driving a further million into emigration. Unflinching in depicting the evidence, Coogan presents a vivid and horrifying picture of a catastrophe that that shook the nineteenth century and finally calls to account those responsible.

Amazing should be part of the history syllabus in primary and secondary schools in England and Ireland also very readable with day to day accounts of daily life during the great famine years . I thank him for writing this book and for the great amount of research that has been put into it. People need to be more informed on this period in history and this book certainly does it.

The Famine Plot
Good read. Well reasearched, plenty of facts. Some of the conclusions he draws are a bit over the top but he has basically got it right. Highly informative.
