Books like The Famine Plot by Tim Pat Coogan


Tim Pat Coogan presents a comprehensive history of the Great Famine that struck Ireland between 1845 and 1852, a period during which up to a quarter of the population perished or emigrated. Drawing on recently uncovered archival material, Coogan argues that British policies and attitudes contributed significantly to the severity of the crisis, including deliberate actions that exacerbated the food shortage. The book places the famine within its broader 19th‑century context, examining the social, economic, and political factors that shaped the tragedy and exploring its enduring legacy among Ireland’s diaspora.
