Queen's Rebels: Ulster Loyalism in Historical Perspective

by David W. Miller

Queen's Rebels is an interpretive essay on the history of the Ulster Protestant community from the seventeenth-century plantations to the mid 1970s. A central concern of the essay is the seemingly contradictory pattern of 'conditional loyalty' on the part of twentieth-century Ulster Protestants. The book was written in the mid-1970s during some of the most violent years of 'the Troubles' when the author spent a year in Belfast, and it has been long unavailable. In a new introduction. John Bew places Queen's Rebels in the context of subsequent literature on Northern Ireland and brings the story up to date.
