«The Great Shame» is the historical essay by Thomas Keneally, published by Random House UK in paperback (731 pages, in English).
The essay examines the halving of the Irish population in the nineteenth century and distinguishes three causes: the famine, emigration to the United States and Canada, and the transportation of political activists to Australia. Thomas Keneally searches for his Irish ancestors using little-used sources and combines political history, photographs, and documents.
Recommended for readers interested in Irish history, emigration, and nineteenth-century politics.
