Reviews

Roe's prose is easy and accessible and he manages to insert hard data and primary sources into a narrative that keeps the reader engaged, horrified and outraged. * Who Do You Think You Are? magazine * A horrific account wonderfully told * History Ireland * Roe's achievement is to bring to light a very neglected part of Irish history. As a historian with a medical background, he has achieved a degree of recognition for about 127,000 souls, who otherwise would remain just a dismal statistic. I would highly recommend this book but it is not a pleasant read. -- John Kirkaldy * Books Ireland Magazine *
