In 1845, European potato fields from Spain to Scandinavia were attacked by a novel pathogen. But it was only in Ireland, then part of the United Kingdom, that the blight’s devastation reached apocalyptic levels, leaving more than a million people dead and forcing millions more to emigrate. In Rot, historian Padraic X. Scanlan offers the definitive account of the Great Famine, showing how Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom and the British Empire made it uniquely vulnerable to starvation.

An excellent account of an Gorta Mor that brilliantly and correctly situates the event in the context of the emergence of a global capitalist economy under British imperial rule, a process that had similar effects throughout the world over the same period as explained in Mike Davis' Late Victorian Holocausts, which makes a great companion to this book.
