“... it is his brilliant account of the terrible history of the Irish in Ireland during the centuries before the Great Famine of the late 1840's that gives this book special distinction.... [It is] succinct, penetrating, and humane.”–New York Herald Tribune Book Review

Potter's book is well researched and goes beyond the personal memoir trend. The writer has produced a work of history that offers depth of thought and analysis.
