The thinking and actions of each had a major effect on the existences - and the survival - of scores of thousands of the destitute poor in Ireland at a crucial point in the country's history. Among these figures are an outspoken newspaper editor; two clergymen (one Catholic, one Protestant); two highly qualified and busy physicians; two landlords and an exterminating agent; a Board of Works official and a Poor Law inspector. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking an exhaustive approach to source material that includes private diaries, letters, official reports and correspondence, police files, parliamentary papers and a wealth of newspapers, in this enthralling study the author builds up an in-depth, almost microscopic picture of each individual, providing a unique and very human lens through which to view the Great Famine.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171011870960,"sku":"9781472506665","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472506665_p0.jpg?v=1763598164","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472506665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
