pp. 248, “Orr has used official records and published histories and memoirs of the Great War for his study. He has given his account an added richness by drawing on a wide range of personal testimony and memorabilia from the soldiers themselves … This book is both a monument to the mythology of Ulster’s role at the Somme and a corrective to that myth … it throws valuable light on the Ulster Loyalist tradition. Times Literary Supplement brilliantly researched and magnificently illustrated analysis Irish News … as Philip Orr shows us in his excellent book, history tends to be concerned with confusion far more than clarities, and the author is to be congratulated for recording with accuracy and sensitivity the confusion felt by the young men who went to fight in the Great War. An immensely important book.”paperback edition
