DUFFY, Peter THE KILLING OF MAJOR DENIS MAHON. A Mystery of Old Ireland
New York Harper Collins 2007 0060840501 / 9780060840501 First Edition Hardcover Fine Fine
xiii+368pp. The riveting true story of a controversial murder that casts new light on the Great Irish Famine. At the height of the famine, Anglo-Irish landlord Major Denis Mahon from County Roscommon was assassinated as he drove through his property, which was filled with thousands of starving tenants. He had removed 3,000 of his 12,000 tenants by offering some passage to America aboard disease-ridden 'coffin'ships, giving others a few pounds to leave peaceably and sending the sheriff to evict the rest. The author tells the true story about the murder and the role Mahon played - or did not play - in the sufferings of his tenants and shedding new light on the horrific struggles of the starving and impoverished Irish. Index.
