This book title, The Great Hunger (Ireland: 1845-1849), ISBN: 9780140145151, by Cecil Woodham-Smith, published by Penguin Publishing Group (September 1, 1992) is available in paperback. It explains much in modern Ireland – and in modern America’ D.W.
It combines great literary power with great learning. In this vivid and disturbing book Cecil Woodham-Smith provides the definitive account. The continuing impact on Anglo-Irish relations was incalculable, the immediate human cost almost inconceivable. It may not have been the result of deliberate government policy, yet British ‘obtuseness, short-sightedness and ignorance’ – and stubborn commitment to laissez-faire ‘solutions’ – largely caused the disaster and prevented any serious efforts to relieve suffering. The Irish potato famine of the 1840s, perhaps the most appalling event of the Victorian era, killed over a million people and drove as many more to emigrate to America.
