An authoritative account of the famine that drove a million Irish to their deaths, and one and one-half million others to leave for the U.S. and Canada, The Great Famine draws on the oral traditions that have been passed down through generations, on original letters, and first-hand accounts, to try and separate myths from history. 8-page color insert.

Interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Famine Ireland's Potato Famine 1845-51 (Hardcover)
I found this book interesting. One thing that most people don't know about the Irish Potato Famine is just how much the British Government is to blame for all those deaths. Any food that an Irish person had in their possession was seized and then shipped to England and other countries. This is the dirty little secret of the British Government.
