The Ulster Covenant: An Illustrated History of the 1912 Home Rule Crisis

On the 28th September 1912, over 470,000 men and women signed Ulster’s Solemn League and Covenant. By signing they proclaimed that they would surrender neither their ‘civil and religious freedom’ nor ‘their cherished position of equal citizenship in the United Kingdom’.Through photos and illustrations from the period, this book tells the story of that event 100 years on, and the determination and self-discipline aroused by the government’s Home Rule Bill.
