Ulster’s Lost Counties: Loyalism and Paramilitarism since 1920

Ulster’s Lost Counties: Loyalism and Paramilitarism since 1920

In 1920, the three Ulster counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan were excluded from Northern Ireland. This book examines the enduring loyalism within protestant communities in the "lost counties". It traces the role of intergenerational memories of violent displacement in militant loyalist politics and paramilitarism during the recent Troubles.
