This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
The fall of feudalism in Ireland or The story of the Land League revolution Michael Davitt Books
Written by Michael Davitt in 1903, this 751-page tome is The Book, the bible, for all who wish to learn about 1845-1850 Ireland and why so many of its people died of starvation and malnutrition-induced diseases. Its transcendent importance derives from having been made the exemplar of historical veracity by the hundreds of cover-up books written in recent decades. Since its publication in 1904 no essentially truth-telling book has been written about that genocide excepting Liam O'Flaherty's "Famine" (1937) a few pages detailing food removal violence by thirteen named British regiments in Cecil Woodham-Smith's "The Great Hunger; Ireland; 1845-1850" (1962), Thomas Gallagher's "Paddy's Lament; Ireland 1846-1847: Prelude to Hatred" (1987), and Harolyn Enis's "When Ireland Fell Silent, a Story of a Family's Struggle Against Famine and Eviction" (2010). Of the four, Woodham-Smith's is the only non-fiction work but the others, though novels, are essentially true.The at-gunpoint removal of Ireland's food was the overriding fact of that starvation, so Davitt could not have even guessed that future "historians" would systematically conceal it, thus this book doesn't focus on it. Perhaps more to the point, it cites the policy-makers and the laws that "legalized" the food removal. It was his accurate assessment that the "ownership" of Ireland's land by English landlords (mostly Absentees living like Rajas while grabbing nearly all Irish production) was the core injustice causing the suffering and death, so he recounts founding The Land League of County Mayo which soon became The Land League of Ireland. Its motivating concept was "Ireland's Land For its Cultivators." He recounts how the community shunning of English land agent Captain Boycott was a major blow against landlordism; entering the language as "boycott." Davitt relates how he was joined by Charles Stewart Parnell (later "Ireland's Uncrowned King"). The struggles in rural Ireland and in Britain's parliament are detailed; as are Davitt's frequent imprisonments, once for 7.5 years. Davitt wrote of achievement; but having died in 1906 he didn't live to see the last of England's landlords depart Ireland. By 1915 the last of them were essentially all gone after "their" estates were bought out and redistributed to the people. Davitt's brilliant tactics were later noted and adopted by Gandhi.
This book is a classic (actually a fine copy of a classic); a permanent rebuke to the entire "Irish Famine book" industry which will not survive a public informed by this book. The Truth Will Set us Free. My copy came from Amazon.
