Reviews

'Curtin's book is exceedingly well-written, rooted solidly in original sources ... she produces a picture that is comprehensive and multifaceted... While avoiding biography she conveys a clear sense of who the United Irishmen were and what they were after. History 'This book is a thoroughly researched and beautifully written analysis ... Nancy Curtin goes further than any previous historian in her detailed analysis of the United Irishmen in Ulster... It is confident without being abrasive and will significantly reshape historical thinking about a period so crucial in the unfolding of modern Irish history.' Marianne Elliot, The Irish Times
