Wilkes The Famine of Ireland and Policies Associated with Genocide Paper

In Famine Plot Tim Pat Coogan asserts that the British response to the Great Hunger is the equivalent of a genocide. He contends that there were organized, official policies that were meant to severely and directly harm the Irish population. In 2-pages, identify and explain the policies and people that Coogan associates with this genocide and ultimately state whether you agree or disagree with Coogan’s central point.

A 2-page essay should be roughly 600-700 words in length. That is the minimum requirement for this assignment. Additionally, you should employ evidence from Coogan’s text, and you can substantiate your own arguments with evidence from Jackson’s and Paseta’s books. Carefully cite your sources.
