To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Particularly in the case of the Irish and Bengal famines, it could be argued that the disaster had many fathers, and even Mengistu, who is justifiably and overridingly the culprit for the Ethiopian famine, had the full-throated support of members of the ruling military, the Derg, and of his head of security, Legesse Asfaw, in all he did and did not do. But to begin with Ireland: in a song often sung by Irish rugby fans, ‘The Fields of Athenry’, a young Irishman about to embark on a convict trans...port exchanges final words with his wife as ‘the prison ship lies waiting in the bay’, ready to bear him into exile in Australia. One of the verses points to the often-named great Satan of the Irish famine. By a lonely prison wall I heard a young maid calling, ‘Michael they are taking you away, For you stole Trevelyan’s corn That the young might see the morn. Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay.’ The corn referred to represents the grain that was shipped out of Ireland throughout the famine, popularly believed to have been sufficient to save the Irish.
