God Guns and Ulster: A History of Loyalist Paramilitaries
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book explores the turbulent years before Irish independence, the 1912 Crisis and the emergence of edward Carson's Ulster Volunteer Force as a resistance force to Irish home Rule. It goes on to look at the emergence, after the partition of Ireland, of Protestant and Loyalist vigilante groups in the 1920s to 1950s, and then in the 1970s, the development of the Ulster Defense Association. The political aspirations of the various groups are also discussed within the context of opposition to any perceived changes to the status quo in Northern Ireland.
