Description: Based on unprecedented access to the Order's internal documents this book provides the first systematic social history of the Orange Order - the Protestant association dedicated to maintaining the British connection in Northern Ireland. Kaufmann charts the Order's path from the peak of its influence in the early 1960s to its present - day crisis. Along the way he sketches a portrait of many of Orangeism's leading figures from ex - Prime Minister John Andrews to Ulster Unionist Party politicians like Martin Smyth James Molyneaux and David Mc Narry and also includes the highly revealing correspondence with adversaries such as Ian Paisley and David Trimble. Packed with analyses of mass - membership trends and attitudes the book also takes care to tell the story of the Order from 'below as well as from above. In the process it argues that the traditional Unionism of West Ulster is giving way to the more militant Unionism of Antrim and Belfast which is winning the hearts of the younger generation in cities and towns throughout the province.
