   Description
The story of this lesser-known human tragedy is now told for the first time in this prize-winning and internationally acclaimed book. The Great Hunger in nineteenth-century Ireland was one of the great human tragedies of modern times. Almost a million perished and a further two million emigrated in the wake of potato blight and economic collapse. At the same time, actue famine also gripped the Scottish Highlands and cused much misery, hardship and distress there. The story of that lesser-known human tragedy is now told for the first time. T M Devine provides an unusually detailed account of the classic themes of Highland and Scottish history, including clearance, land-lordism, crofting life, emigration and migration which provides a subtle and intricate reconstruction of Highland history.
