See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge This part of the FAQ is mostly based on two books. The first is a slim volume, a fairly impartial summary of recent work on the subject. It's very strong on the economics but does not neglect the social and political aspects. Title: The Great Irish Famine Author: Cormac Ó Gráda Publisher: MacMillan ISBN: 0-333-39883-1 The second is Roy Foster's book Modern Ireland (see part 6 of the FAQ for publishing details) which contains a chapter on the Famine. Another book (recommended by Patrick Denny <denny@GFZ-Potsdam.DE> in this newsgroup) with a more contemporary slant is Title: The Great Irish Famine Author: Canon John O'Rourke Publisher: (Abridged reprint) Veritas Publications ISBN: 1 85390 130 X (Hardback 1 85390 049 4) Cecil Woodham-Smith's book remains one of the most comprehensive accounts available, though later research casts doubt on some of her conclusions. Title: The Great Hunger Author: Cecil Woodham-Smith Publisher: Penguin ISBN: 0 14 014515 X User Contributions:Comment about this article, ask questions, or add new information about this topic:Top Document: Irish FAQ: The Famine [6/10] Previous Document: 5) Was the Famine genocide?
