The Centenary Classics series examines the fascinating time of
change and evolution in the Ireland of 100 years ago during the
1916-23 revolutionary period. Each volume is introduced by Fearghal
McGarry who sets the scene of this important period in Ireland's
history. Civil War in Ulster, originally published in 1913,
analyses the events leading up to the massive arming of the
Orangemen which followed the Larne gun-running. Joseph Johnston was
an Ulster Protestant writing as a liberal supporter of Home Rule.
He gives the book's target Protestant readership an outline of
recent Irish history, making the case that Home Rule had many
positive features, and that none of the perceived negative features
would be worth fighting a civil war to avoid. Although Johnston's
objective in writing the book was unsuccessful and the point of
view has been largely forgotten, his highly readable book provides
a fascinating insight into the thoughts and fears of the population
of Ulster at a critical time in Irish history and the foreword and
introduction, by Tom Garvin and Roy Johnston, give a contemporary
analysis of the thinking behind Johnston's unusual stand.
