Summary of Tim Pat Coogan's The Famine Plot
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The British government was responsible for the state of Ireland, and it was their mismanagement that produced the terrible conditions there. The mere fact that Ireland was so miserable was a complete and irrefutable proof of the mismanagement to which she had been subjected.
#2 The Famine killed millions of people in Ireland, and it was also the cause of emigration. Ireland became a country to leave.
#3 The first attempt at colonization of Ireland was made by the Normans, who were invited to Ireland by the Irish king Diarmuid McMurragh. The pope of the day, Adrian, granted Henry II a Papal Bull, legitimizing the Norman invasion. The Irish were to be saved from the barbarity of their ways by a combination of Vatican directive and Norman steel.
#4 The Battle of the Boyne in 1690 marked the end of Catholic power in Ireland, and it is still celebrated by the Protestants of northeastern Ireland. The pope sought a Williamite victory, and he contributed some three and a half million in today's euro values toward the purchase of swords and muskets to use against the Catholics.
