General Note
"A devastating potato blight swept across Europe to Ireland in 1845, destroying the crops on which the vast majority of the poor depended. In the next six years, over a million Irish men, women and children died from the effects of prolonged hunger and disease. Hundreds of thousands were evicted from their homes and left to wander the country roads or drift into the towns. More than a million people in all fled the famine to go abroad ... [This book] reveals the truth behind the myths, as well as its long-term effects on the social and political structure of Ireland"--Dust jacket.
