Based on unprecedented access to the Order's internal documents,
this book provides the first systematic social history of the
Orange Order - the Protestant association dedicated to maintaining
the British connection in Northern Ireland.
Kaufmann charts the Order's path from the peak of its influence, in
the early 1960s, to its present-day crisis. Along the way, he
sketches a portrait of many of Orangeism's leading figures, from
ex-Prime Minister John Andrews to Ulster Unionist Party politicians
like Martin Smyth, James Molyneaux, and David McNarry. Kaufmann
also includes the highly revealing correspondence with adversaries
such as Ian Paisley and David Trimble.
Packed with analyses of mass-membership trends and attitudes, the
book also takes care to tell the story of the Order from "below" as
well as from above. In the process, it argues that the traditional
Unionism of West Ulster is giving way to the more militant Unionism
of Antrim and Belfast which is winning the hearts of the younger
generation in cities and towns throughout the province.
