About This Book
The book narrates the northern unionist campaign to prevent Irish self-government from passing to a Dublin parliament, outlining the historical background, political organisation, and leadership that shaped its strategy. It follows mass mobilisation including the Covenant and formation of volunteer forces, legislative and extra‑parliamentary tactics, episodes of military tension and wartime activity, and the negotiations that produced separate regional institutions. Drawing on committee records, private papers, and contemporary accounts, it emphasizes procedural steps, propaganda, and the debates over the justification and practical consequences of constitutional and armed resistance.
