As an Irishman with an interest in history I couldn't put this down.
It is a short enough book and a very interesting read. The Irish were often persecuted in Ireland
throughout our long history but it seems to me there is very little knowledge among the average
Irish person about the experiences of our ancestors in the Carribbean.
This book was given to me by my father who has lived in Jamaica for ten years.
The Jamaican patois word for potatoe is 'Irish' apparent More...

Interesting story from the 1600s. Not a good time to live in Ireland. The attitude of rules towards their subjects was extemely cruel

A textbook account of 50,000 Irish people taken and sold to labour in Barbados and Virginia in the 1600s. Not pleasant to read but very interesting.

This book is what it is. Its a text-book style historical account of the Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland during the time of Cromwell. It isn't a story book, it isn't historical fiction - its cold hard facts that are often difficult to read and stomach.
Every Irish man and woman needs to read this book to understand what really happened - you will be shocked and angered.

some historical facts on the enslavement of the Irish and what they endured under the English.When we think slavery we dont think of white enslavement.
