It may not have been the result of deliberate government policy, yet British 'obtuseness, short-sightedness and ignorance' - and stubborn commitment to laissez-faire 'solutions' - largely caused the disaster and prevented any serious efforts to relieve suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe continuing impact on Anglo-Irish relations was incalculable, the immediate human cost almost inconceivable. In this vivid and disturbing book Cecil Woodham-Smith provides the definitive account.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'A moving and terrible book. It combines great literary power with great learning. It explains much in modern Ireland - and in modern America' D.W.
