In this long-anticipated book, Marianne Elliot has succeeded in at last creating a coherent, credible and absorbing history of the Ulster Catholics - from their early medieval origins to the devolution of 1999. In the process many myths are destroyed, but a picture also emerges of a history which, while in many senses quite different from the received wisdom, is none the less, with the arrival of the English and Scots, an extremely brutal one.
At a remarkable point in Ulster's history, this book will be at the focus of a great deal of debate.
