All aspects involved are covered including relief efforts undertaken and mis-taken, effects on the people of both the potato failures and the government's efforts, the lack of assistance granted by reticent landlords, the emigrations and their often disastrous results, and attitudes both foreign and close to home (often unflattering) towards the starving Irish people. Their aim is to give as complete a picture of the famine years as is possible. The authors do a more than meticulous job on The Great Hunger: Ireland 1854-1849.
