Ireland's history and people are seen through the narrative of the day in this chronological anthology of recreated and reprinted newspaper articles which lays bare the harsh realities of life and death during the years of the Great Famine from 1845 to 1852.Destitution, violence and the politics of land and religion permeated the country and exiled the youth and vigor of Ireland to distant shores as hungry emigrants.
