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. Please see also the bibliography in the Bookshelf section of this website.
