Reviews
a very readable treatment of this theme ... vivid pictures spike his documentary which bring to recognition, if only for a moment, the ordinary figures
This is a truly monumental work of scholarship. * Sunday Times *
This is the most important book on Irish emigration to appear in a generation, and it is destined to be the monument by which all others are measured. * Irish America *
remarkable book ... a prodigiously researched account of one of the great folk movements of history * Michael Heale, TLS *
Kerby Miller has written what is likely to remain for some time the standard work on Irish emigration to the United States. His book is a prime example of the detailed, myth-shattering Irish historical literature of the 1980s. Both in the quality of its argument and in its vast range of interesting detail it constitutes a considerable achievement. * Michael A. Hopkinson, University of Stirling, Irish Historical Studies *
