"The Irish Crisis" by Charles E. Trevelyan is a historical analysis covering the famine that struck Ireland in 1847 and the societal and environmental factors that triggered the crisis. The book explains how the Irish population depended on the potato crop, and the impact that a potato crop failure had. Trevelyan looks at the situation, and concludes that a variety of economic and social issues led to the famine, instead of solely a natural disaster. Trevelyan looks at problems such as land ownership, and the ineffectiveness of the farming system, and views the crisis as potentially leading to wide-ranging reform and transformation of Irish society.
