Paddy's Lament, Ireland 1846-1847: Prelude to Hatred | 
pickWhat an excellent, eye opening, heartbreaking book. I never knew much about the Irish potato famine, other than that there was a potato blight that lead to food shortages and mass emigration to the US.
This book tells the story of that famine, and how while the blight may have destroyed the potatoes, it was English imperial policy that caused the famine. It‘s a history that deserves to be remembered, and this book does it great justice.
