Aimsigh é!
The standard story of the exodus during Ireland's Great Famine is one of tired clichés, half-truths, and dry statistics. In this book, a groundbreaking work of transnational history, Cian T. McMahon offers a vibrant, fresh perspective on an oft-ignored but vital component of the migration experience: the journey itself.
