Amazing should be part of the history syllabus in primary and secondary schools in England and Ireland also very readable with day to day accounts of daily life during the great famine years .
I thank him for writing this book and for the great amount of research that has been put into it.
People need to be more informed on this period in history and this book certainly does it.
Good read. Well reasearched, plenty of facts. Some of the conclusions he draws
are a bit over the top but he has basically got it right. Highly informative.
