The Famine Decade, Contemporary Accounts, 1841-1851 Edited by John Killen. ISBN 0-85640-560-4 $22.00 is not online. Illustrated with contemporary drawings and cartoons, Killen's book is unique in its direct presentation of the information and commentary that was available to the public and to decision-makers at the time. Newspaper reports, editorials, accounts by relief agencies, government reports, parliamentary debates, scientific comment and agricultural advice show a situation rapidly running catastrophically out of control as the potato blight spread. Never losing sight of the actual horror, this book takes the contemporary reader in and helps to explain how the Great Famine overwhelmed the country. The Great Hunger in Ireland by Christine Kinealy, explores the influences that shaped the responses to the Famine. Demonstrates how many current attitudes and arguments about the Famine - Ideological, political, and commercial - were evident during the event itself.
