Tim Pat Coogan is one of Ireland’s best known historians and in his latest book he revisits one of the darkest chapters in world history and asserts that the Irish Famine constituted one of the first acts of genocide. Drawing on new evidence he shows how the British government hid behind a smoke screen of laissez-faire economics and a carefully orchestrated publicity campaign, allowing more than a million people to die agonizing deaths and driving a further million into emigration. It is called The Famine Plot – England’s Role in Ireland’s Greatest Tragedy.
