This book explores the turbulent years before Irish independence, the 1912 Crisis and the emergence of edward Carson's Ulster Volunteer Force as a resistance force to Irish home Rule. It goes on to look at the emergence, after the partition of Ireland, of Protestant and Loyalist vigilante groups in the 1920s to 1950s, and then in the 1970s, the development of the Ulster Defense Association. The political aspirations of the various groups are also discussed within the context of opposition to any perceived changes to the status quo in Northern Ireland.

This unique book gives a clear and often shocking insight into the history of the Loyalist paramilitaries. It traces its rich and varied evolution as a famously rebellious part of Ireland and the emergence of secret agrarian societies. Fully illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs.
Ian S. Woods takes an objective look at the current situation (and past history) of the various paramilitary groups in Ireland and attempts to discern what lies in the future. It is a thorough analysis accompanied by an impressive array of photographic history and current events.
