Product Description

Synopsis
As Orangemen marched in west Belfast in September of 2005, Protestant paramilitaries fired on army and police in the worst street riots seen in Belfast for 10 years and Northern Ireland's Chief Constable squarely blamed the Orange Order. Now, with publication timed to coincide with the start of the 2006 marching season, an extraordinary book opens the lid on this secretive, powerful and beleaguered organisation whose future is inextricably tied to that of the United Kingdom itself. Established in Ireland in 1795, the Orange Order aimed to promote Protestantism and celebrate the memory of William of Orange. But religious and political allegiances became inseparable. Today, the Order is reduced to around 30,000 active members, increasingly publicly identified with an unyielding, bigoted Unionism expressed in the thousands of marches it stages each year, all too often the flashpoint for violence. For Orangeism, like Unionism, is at a crossroads, and a long way from the peaceful tolerance it preaches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 26 Oct 2007
By S. Justice "themadscotsmanuk" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book warmly recollects the traditional values of the Orange Order and details the author's view of the Institution's sad and ever increasing diversion of them.

It's often difficult to find books on NI history without their value being lowered by the author resorting to traditional, tired arguments without any supporting evidence, Rev Brian Kennaway however provides very strong arguments supported by other evidence and opinion.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what the Order originally stood for as this blows away a lot of the common misperceptions and provides a fascinating view of some of the most seminal events of the organisation from an inside perspective.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have recommended it to several friends.
