　　In The Great Shame, Thomas Keneally--the bestselling, Booker

Prize-winning author of Schindler's List--combines the authority of

a brilliant historian and the narrative grace of a great novelist

to present a gripping account of the Irish diaspora.

The nineteenth century saw Ireland lose half of its population to

famine, emigration, or deportation to penal colonies in

Australia--often for infractions as common as stealing food. Among

the victims of this tragedy were Thomas Keneally's own forebearers,

and they were his inspiration to tell the story of the Irish who

struggled and ultimately triumphed in Australia and North America.

Relying on rare primary sources--including personal letters, court

tran*s, ship manifests, and military documents--Keneally

offers new and important insights into the impact of the Irish in

exile. The result is a vivid saga of heroes and villains, from

Great Famine protesters to American Civil War generals to great

orators and politicians.
