Damning account of how the English government suppressed Ireland's economy for centuries, then victim blamed them when the famine happened and mostly refused to help. Lots of quotes from respected English officials expressing anti-Irish and anti-Catholic bigotry and occasionally coming right out and publicly stating the famine was a fortuitous way to bring down the unsustainable population. Good but long and repetitive.

LitStephanie @TheBookHippie I listened to the audio but would have preferred print to be able to skip ahead on repetitive parts. 1w
Texreader I read another book about this and it just infuriated me!! I‘ll have to stack this one too. 1w

1. Ireland. I can‘t see myself enjoying a tropical island very much. 😅
2. Probably anything to do with Ireland, especially their fairy tales/mythology or history. Tagged one that‘s been on my radar.
