The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) was established in January 1913,
as a militant expression of Ulster Unionist opposition to the Third
Home Rule Bill. Academic historians have tended to overlook Ulster
Loyalism. This book provides the first comprehensive study of the
UVF in this period, considering in detail the composition of the
officer corps, the marked regional recruiting differences, the
ideologies involved, the arming and equipping of the UVF and the
contingency plans made by UVF Headquarters in the event of Home
Rule being imposed on Ulster. Using previously neglected sources,
it demonstrates that the UVF was better armed and less
well-trained, with the involvement of fewer British army officers
than previous historians have allowed, and suggests that the UVF
was quite capable of seizing control of Ulster and installing the
Ulster Provisional Government in the event of Home Rule being
implemented in 1914. This book will be essential reading for
military and Irish historians and their students, and will interest
any general reader interested in modern paramilitary forces. -- .
