The Famine Plot: England's Role in Ireland's Greatest Tragedy by Tim Pat Coogan
2.0
*** Won as part of a Goodreads giveaway ***
I could not finish this book. I really do feel a duty to books I have won. I took this book up twice. The first time I only made it 30 pages in. The second I really pushed and pushed and made it to page 65.
The subject matter is dark of course. The title clearly states the purpose of exposing Britain's role/fault in The Famine. I knew all this going in. I did find it very tough though. A lot of facts, information, switching between ideas. I don't think it was well laid out. The format was very dense.
I will give this book to someone who will read it and encourage them to pass it on and review.
