Irish famine

This is a fine introduction to the subject of the so-called Irish Famine (which is rightly called The Great Hunger, and should be called The Irish Genocide.) The art fully enhances the text.

"The Irish Famine (Discoveries)"

I found this book to be very gripping. It creates a picture of the Famine painted in words. Though a fairly small book in size; it speaks volumes, informatively and clearly of the suffering of the Irish people during this period. I have often recommended it to people asking me about information on the subject of the Famine. I give it 4-stars.
