The Great Irish Famine - New Studies in Economic and Social History
O'Grada, Cormac (University College Dublin)
This book provides an up-to-date introduction to one of the great disasters of the nineteenth century. Cormac O'Gráda's concise survey places the Famine of 1846-50 in the context of the Irish economy, assesses the Famine itself, and discusses its many consequences, suggesting that a less doctrinaire attitude to famine relief could have saved many lives.
