If anyone wants to read an interesting and unsparing analysis of the Irish famine, try and find Cecil Woodham-Smith's 'The Great Hunger'. And if you prefer a literary rather than instant-rabbit hole adventure, her book on the Charge of the Light Brigade, 'The Reason Why' is another masterpiece.
World of Books will no doubt source them at minimal cost. These are old books now ('50s and '60s) but are works of impeccable scholalrship.
