Kelly brings new material to his analysis of relevant political factors during the years leading up to the famine, and the extent to which Britain's nation-building policies exacerbated the mounting crisis. Despite the shocking, infuriating implications of his findings, \u003ci\u003eThe Graves Are Walking\u003c\/i\u003e is ultimately a story of triumph--of one people's ability to remake themselves in a new land in the face of the unthinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Kelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.52w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250032171","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709368733833,"sku":"9781250032171","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_5302c796-2aa6-4786-893b-624af137e262.jpg?v=1719514762","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-graves-are-walking-the-great-famine-and-the-saga-of-the-irish-people-9781250032171","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
