The Graves Are Walking - by John Kelly (Paperback)

The Graves Are Walking is a masterful account of one of the worst disasters to strike humankind - the Great Irish Potato Famine.

Kelly delivers this tragic event with novelistic flair, examining the intersection of political greed, bacterial infection, religious intolerance, and racism that made it possible.

This comprehensive analysis brings new material to the table, shedding light on relevant political factors leading up to the famine and how Britain's nation-building policies exacerbated the mounting crisis.

Despite the shocking implications of his findings, Kelly ultimately tells a story of triumph - one people's ability to remake themselves in a new land in the face of unthinkable horror.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in historical events that shaped our world today.
