About the book >.>.> IN A WORLD of cyclical and enduring historic and modern want this account is in greatest part a comparative story of three terrible hungers. The first of these famines is an Gorta M?r the great hunger of Ireland the famine that began in 1845 and whose end-date is a matter of debate among histo- rians. I have written about this famine before but in terms of the history of Irish nationalism instead of as a famine that echoed and illustrated other famines. By comparing this renowned event with other outbreaks of starvation I hope to tell its tale anew and while not avoiding the causes actions and ideas that made it narrate it stripped of its former nationalist rhetoric.
