I am continuing my research into the catastrophic effects of The Great Hunger, a famine that occurred in Ireland in the 1840s. I have published one book chapter [see below] in this area, and I have another in preparation, and my goal is to write a complete book on this subject in due course. I have listed here the titles of some important books, articles and DVDs associated with The Great Hunger, and if you click on the titles you can get further information:
