Northern Ireland at the Crossroads: Ulster Unionism in the O'Neill Years 1960-9 / Marc Mulholland
Description:
Assuming that Northern Ireland's conflict is basically one between the competing ethnic identities of Irish nationalists and Ulster unionists, Mulholland (modern British history, Hertford College, Oxford, England) chronicles the violent political power struggles that took place under O'Neill's controversial premiership. Topics addressed include the politics of the Catholic and Protestant communities, the rise of Paisley, discrimination against Catholics and the development of the civil rights movement. Sources are wide-ranging and include newspapers, government and private papers (including O'Neill's private papers), and interviews with contemporary participants and observers. Annotation c.
