The Irish Famine 1845-52 (Compact Irish History)

The Famine of the 1840s deserves the capital letter it invariably gets. It was the greatest national calamity ever to befall a people in times of peace and has left its mark on the Irish ever since. This account provides the story of the disaster: its causes and the inadequate official response.
