My wife wanted to read about this as her mother lived through this storm. After reading it a big conversation of memory lane ensued between them. Nice bit of history

Fantastic insight into Ireland's arctic winter of 1947. Fantastic detail of the struggle the people of Ireland had to endure during the arctic siege of 1947.

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 23, 2013*

My family are from Wicklow and I was brought up hearing stories of food being air dropped into communities up in the mountains when the snow was bad.  I was highly entertained by this book.  The emphasis is on Dublin and the suffering of the tenement poor.  The book relies heavily on newspaper accounts, which is fine, but just goes to compound the Dublin-centric emphasis.  Nonetheless, it is vivid and compelling in its account of a nation left to survive as best it could in appalling conditions with little or no fuel and diminishing food stocks, whilst a complacent and inept government left it to its fate.It could have done with some judicious editing - as others have mentioned, the prologue is unnecessarily long and there is a lot of repetition.  Students of Irish history should enjoy it though as an insight into a little-known interlude and as a testament to the resilience of a long-suffering nation.
