Notes
This is Volume 1 of a two volume set. Volume 2 is the history of the 36th (Ulster) Division in the War. The books have been separated in The Collection's categories as they address differing subjects. Volume 1 is about the founding and the growth of the Ulster Volunteer Force, and the state of Irish politics in the years leading up to the war, although this book is written much more from a localised, and primary (para?) military standpoint than a political one. This is a fresh study of the Irish situation, especially that part of it which immediately preceded the outbreak of the war. Some historians tend to overlook what might have happened had war not broken out. But the dispute was set aside for the duration of the war, the Easter Rising excepted. Truesdale is the primary author, but David Orr has contributed mightily. They both have a long and respected history of writing about military history from the Irish point of view.
