Metress, on the topic of the Irish Potato Famine:
- "These same apologists feel that there was nothing that any government could have done to ameliorate the situation. The poor British tried, but were simply overwhelmed by the logistics of the operation. In their view the starvation was the inevitable outcome of demography and the prevalent economic theory of the day."
- From The Great Starvation and British Imperialism in Ireland.
