God, Guns And Ulster - The History Of Loyalist Paramilitaries

This unique book gives a clear and often shocking insight into the history of the Loyalist Paramilitaries. It gives a brief look at the early history of Ulster, traces its rich and varied evolution and explains the significance and iconography of people and events.

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.
