Description
The Great Famine was a period of mass starvation, disease and emigration in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. It's often referred to as the Irish Potato Famine, particularly outside Ireland, due to the reliance on this crop by around forty percent of the population. The devastating consequences of this event are still felt today. This book provides a comprehensive account of what happened before and during the Famine, shedding light on the tragic events that unfolded. With an in-depth examination of the causes and effects of the disaster, it offers a nuanced understanding of one of Ireland's most significant historical episodes. Fiona Biggs' A Pocket History of the Irish Famine is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand this pivotal moment in Irish history.
