Product Description
In this compelling and engaging new book, award winning journalist Frank Millar delivers David Trimble as we have never known or heard him before. Revelatory and self-critical, Trimble's honesty and candor in his discussions with Millar are remarkable for a politician still in office. Millar's knowledgeable and challenging questions result in a riveting conversation in which the Nobel Peace Prize winner explains how and why he gambled everything to help London and Dublin politicize the provisional republican movement and reward his Sinn Féin enemies with a place in government. ...

Product Description
In what is their centenary year, the Ulster Unionist Party has been left reeling from the 2005 Westminster general election results. The historic party of the union has but one remaining seat in the House of Commons, and as was predicted, Northern Ireland's electorate has abandoned the centre-ground parties in favour of the extremes. The DUP and Sinn Fein now hold the key to political progress - a scenario almost inconceivable when the Belfast Agreement was signed seven long years ago. So how did the UUP become so out of touch with mainstream Unionist opinion? What could the party have done to hold its vote in the 2005 general election? Why did the British Government abandon Trimble after he had led Ulster Unionism from international isolation to being the driving force behind the Belfast Agreement? In Transforming Unionism Michael Kerr offers a view of the UUP's electoral meltdown from inside Ulster Unionist Party Head Quarters, and unravels the last days of Trimble as Ulster Unio ...

A party self destructs
This is the story of the 2005 general election in Northern Ireland and the replacement of the Ulster Unionists by the Democratic Unionists as the mainstream unionist party. It is of interest to students of Northern Ireland and unionism. It is based on Michael Kerr's election campaign diary and his analysis of why the Ulster Unionists lost so badly. Essentially this is a combination of paying the price for trusting the promises of Tony Blair, punishment by the electorate for the failure of the IRA to disarm in accordance with the provisions of the Good Friday Agreement, and very poor organization. ...

Excerpt:Billy Hull (born 1912) was a loyalist activist in Northern Ireland . Hull worked at the Harland and Wolff engine shop in Belfast , and became the convenor of shop stewards there. He joined the Northern Ireland Labour Party , but resigned in 1969 in protest at the Northern Ireland policy of the British Labour Party . In February 1971, he led a march of 4,000 shipyard workers to demand the introduction of internment . Instead, he founded the Loyalist Association of Workers (LAW), which campaigned against the abolition of the Parliament of Northern Ireland . From 1972 - 73, he was a member of the inner council of the paramilitary Ulster Defence Association , and also in 1972, he was a prominent founder member of Ulster Vanguard . Hull stood for the Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party in North Belfast at the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 1973 , but took only 852 votes and was not elected. He contemplated turning the LAW into a new, working class loyalist party, but this was fiercely opposed by Vanguard leader William Craig . The LAW collapsed, many of its members forming the Ulster Workers Council . In 1974, Hull was shot and injured in an attack by other Loyalist paramilitaries, possibly the Ulster Volunteer Force .
