"The experiences in Ulster have attracted the attention of many historians, but few have written about the problem with as much insight as D. W. Miller in his classic essay on the Queen's Rebels, which has just been re-issued with an excellent introduction by a star of the up-and-coming generation of historians, John Bew. Miller's original work was so influential because he perfectly captured the contradictions inherent to Ulster Unionism." Verbal Magazine Oct 2007 "University College Dublin Press has now published over thirty 'Classics of Irish History'. These contemporary accounts by well known personalities of historical events and attitudes have an immediacy that conventional histories do not have. Introductions by modern historians provide additional historical background and, with hindsight, objectivity." Books Ireland Nov 2007 "Scholars of nineteenth-century Irish and Irish-American politics should reacquaint themselves with these classics, part of a long running and immensely useful series from University College Dublin Press."
