The most remarkable thing about Craig is there was nothing remarkable about him. He was Prime Minister for twenty years, dominated Ulster Unionism, and his statue still looms over the lobby of Stormont. Yet he had no great intellect, no real vision: he was just a competent administrator.
This is a good wee book to give you an overview of his life.
