Centred on the dramatic premiership of Terence O'Neill, this text examines the most hopeful decade for Ulster Unionism this century. O'Neill’s bold ambition to reach out to Catholics inspired optimism but also massive political instability. Though concerned with the drama and personalities of high politics, this book has much to say on popular attitudes in one of the world’s most politicized societies. New light is shed on Paisleyism, discrimination and the civil rights movement.
