I came across a couple of articles about this book on the Irish famine. Unfortunately, the book is not cheap (25 pounds). Is the consensus we agree with his premise?

I do not know about 'we' but I have agreed with the thought that England 'created' the famine! I have seen many stories about the British shipping food supplies to Ireland during the Great Famine; however, along with those stories are facts that the same Brits shipped a great many tonnes more of food OUT of Ireland than they shipped in. Much of these stories seem to be factually based and proveable.

PS The book (Rot: An Imperial History of the Irish Famine) is much cheaper on Audible (audiobook) or Kindle. ________________________________ From: barry woolner via CoTyroneList <cotyronelist@list.cotyroneireland.com> Sent: 18 January 2026 17:10 To: CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List <cotyronelist@list.cotyroneireland.com> Cc: barry woolner <barrywoolner@hotmail.com> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: New Content - List of Original Contributors to the Erection of First Derry Presbyterian Church, Templemore Parish, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland 1781 I came across a couple of articles about this book on the Irish famine.
