It may not have been the result of deliberate government policy, yet British 'obtuseness, short-sightedness and ignorance' - and stubborn commitment to laissez-faire 'solutions' - largely caused the disaster and prevented any serious efforts to relieve suffering. The continuing impact on Anglo-Irish relations was incalculable, the immediate human cost almost inconceivable. In this vivid and disturbing book Cecil Woodham-Smith provides the definitive account. 'A moving and terrible book. It combines great literary power with great learning. It explains much in modern Ireland - and in modern America' D.W. Brogan.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Group","offers":[{"title":"Great Hunger: Ireland: 1845-1849 (Revised) | Cecil Woodham-Smith | Paperback | 9780140145151 | Used: Very Good | European History 1635147","offer_id":48485284806808,"sku":"1635147","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/6140ijusDjL.jpg?v=1773436618","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/great-hunger-ireland-1845-1849-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
