Sir Edward Carson, from the date when he accepted or assumed authority at Craigavon in September, 1911, up to the present time. The first chapter reviews his military system as established in Ulster from 1911 onwards. I show the numbers of the forces and briefly summarize the methods of training, the staff work and other such details. The second chapter provides a similar account of the raising of an army in England under distinguished auspices, which force, on mobilization, would embark at Liverpool for co-operation with the Home army of Ulster.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous period of early 20th-century Irish history, focusing on the rise of Sir Edward Carson and the emergence of a powerful, militarized Ulster movement. The author meticulously documents Carson's efforts to establish a separate Ulster government, detailing the formation of a well-equipped volunteer force, the creation of a provisional administration, and the adoption of a "Solemn Covenant" that cemented Carson's claim to authority. The book explores the complex interplay of political maneuvering, military preparedness, and popular mobilization that characterized this period. The author draws parallels with previous historical events, such as the English Civil War and the rise of Napoleon, to illuminate the context and significance of Carson's actions. Through detailed accounts of speeches, meetings, and even secret communications, the author offers a vivid portrait of a society on the brink of civil war, highlighting the power struggles, anxieties, and strategic planning that shaped the political landscape of the time. Ultimately, the book provides a unique and insightful examination of how one man, through a blend of charisma, ambition, and tactical acumen, successfully galvanized a population and set the stage for a dramatic political confrontation.
