Looks At The Causes And Impact Of The Great Famines In Nineteenth Century Ireland
Black Potatoes: The Story of the Great Irish Famine, 1845-1850
In 1845, a disaster struck Ireland. Overnight, a mysterious blight attacked the potato crops, turning the potatoes black and destroying the only real food of nearly six million people. Over the next f...ive years, the blight attacked again and again. These years are known today as the Great Irish Famine, a time when one million people died from starvation and disease and two million more fled their homeland. Black Potatoes is the compelling story of men, women, and children who defied landlords and searched empty fields for scraps of harvested vegetables and edible weeds to eat, who walked several miles each day to hard-labor jobs for meager wages and to reach soup kitchens, and who committed crimes just to be sent to jail, where they were assured of a meal. It’s the story of children and adults who suffered from starvation, disease, and the loss of family and friends, as well as those who died. Illustrated with black and white engravings, it’s also the story of the heroes among the Irish people and how they held on to hope.

Suddenly, in 1846, an unknown and uncontrollable disease turned the p...otato crop to inedible slime, and all Ireland was threatened. Index. A sobering account of the great famine that examines the roots of Ireland's bitter hatred for England.
The Famine Plot: England's Role in Ireland's Greatest Tragedy
A Bold New History Of The Great Famine That Holds The British Government Accountable.--jacket. During A Biblical Seven Years In The Middle Of The Nineteenth Century, Ireland Experienced The Worst Disa...ster A Nation Could Suffer. Fully A Quarter Of Its Citizens Either Perished From Starvation Or Emigrated, With So Many Dying En Route That It Was Said, You Can Walk Dry Shod To America On Their Bodies. In This Grand, Sweeping Narrative, Ireland's Best-known Historian, Tim Pat Coogan, Gives A Fresh And Comprehensive Account Of One Of The Darkest Chapters In World History, Arguing That Britain Was In Large Part Responsible For The Extent Of The National Tragedy, And In Fact Engineered The Food Shortage In One Of The Earliest Cases Of Ethnic Cleansing. So Strong Was Anti-irish Sentiment In The Mainland That The English Parliament Referred To The Famine As 'god's Lesson.' Drawing On Recently Uncovered Sources, And With The Sharp Eye Of A Seasoned Historian, Coogan Delivers Fresh Insights Into The Famine's Causes, Recounts Its Unspeakable Events, And Delves Into The Legacy Of The Famine Mentality That Followed Immigrants Across The Atlantic To The Shores Of The United States And Had Lasting Effects On The Population Left Behind. This Is A Broad, Magisterial History Of A Tragedy That Shook The Nineteenth Century And Still Impacts The Worldwide Irish Diaspora Of Nearly 80 Million People Today. -- Publisher Description Setting The Scene -- Born To Filth -- A Million Deaths Of No Use -- Five Actors And The Orchards Of Hell -- Meal Use -- Evictions -- The Work Schemes -- The Workhouse -- Soup And Souperism -- The Poor Law Cometh -- Landlords Targeted -- Emigration : Escape By Coffin Ship -- The Propaganda Of Famine.
