<br/><br/> Famine remains one of the worst calamities that can befall a society. Mass starvation—whether it is inflicted by drought or engineered by misguided or genocidal economic policies—devastates families, weakens the social fabric, and undermines political stability. Cormac Ó Gráda, the acclaimed author who chronicled the tragic Irish famine in books like Black ‘47 and Beyond, here traces the complete history of famine from the earliest records to today.
