Carson's army

Focusing on the Ulster Volunteer Force's historical significance, this academic study explores its formation in 1913 by Ulster Unionists in response to the Third Home Rule Bill. It examines the group's role in establishing the 36th (Ulster) Division in 1914 and its reactivation in 1920 to combat the I.R.A. threat to Northern Ireland. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the organization’s impact on the political landscape and its enduring legacy in the region's tumultuous history.
