Northern Ireland: The Orange State

Michael Farrell

4.32/5 (39 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

Michael Farrell has written the first full-length political history of Northern Ireland from its violent birth to the violent present (1976).

The book describes the bloody pogroms with which the Unionist leaders, armed and financed by Britain, established their state and cowed the minority into submission; how they created an Orange state based on Protestant privilege.

Michael Farrell records the fruitless efforts of the Catholics, in and out of parliament, to redress their grievances and shows how, in every decade, they have been driven to armed revolt. He describes the few great moments of working-class solidarity and how the Unionist leaders smashed the working-class movement with sectarian politics.

Farrell traces the recent development of Loyalism into a threat to the traditional power structure in Northern Ireland which has brought down two Prime Ministers and wrecked Britain's most elaborate effort yet to solve the Irish problem.
