| Summary: | "There are few communities with a bloodier history than the Catholics of Ulster. Their harsh region has always been set apart geographically from the rest of Ireland, and its uniquely savage history has marked Catholics and Protestants alike. Both communities look to the past for their sense of identity and their intransigent politics, but their understanding of that history - enmeshed in a web of myths, lies, and half-truths - has had ruinous effects on their lives. In The Catholics of Ulster, Marianne Elliott cuts through this thicket of obscuring myth and replaces it with the clarity of truth."--BOOK JACKET. |
