The birth of Ulster,

History

Falls, Cyril

Europe

Barnes&Noble

The reign of the first Elizabeth will always be remembered for the Armada. But it was the Irish, not the Spanish, who came closest to destroying the security of the Elizabethan state. Between 1560 and 1602, only superior military force - allied with ruthless subjugation - preserved England's throne against a succession of rebellions and uprisings throughout Ireland. Now republished for the first time in nearly twenty years, Elizabeth's Irish Wars is Cyril Falls's crucial account of the half century that changed the course of Anglo-Irish history. To contemporary observers, the danger to the English crown was acute. Many of the queen's foremost professional soldiers served in Ireland, among them Essex and Mountjoy, her leading military tactician. Ireland, too, found her heroes in O'Donnell, Fitzmaurice, Tyrone and O'Neill. The Elizabethan wars in Ireland involved the collision of two civilisations, in which the older went down. This masterly account of the campaigns gives a vital perspective to the broad sweep of Anglo-Irish relations.

Constable & Robinson Ltd.

First published more than sixty years ago, The Birth of Ulster still remains unquestionably relevant to the political scene in Ireland today. Cyril Falls' masterly account of the birth of Ulster takes us back beyond King Billy, beyond the great rebellion of 1641, to that crucial period in Ireland's history known as the Plantation: the organised settlement in Ulster of English and Scots farming tenants who would make it their country and their home.A dramatic episode in itself, the Plantation lies close to the heart of the agonising and perennial Irish Question. Here Falls describes with great clarity the political confusion out of which it grew - Elizabeth I's disastrous attempts to annexe and subdue - and the absorbing story of the settlement's development and struggle to survive.

Elizabeth's Irish wars,

At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the British government realized that it had to keep the Suez Canal open at all costs because it was the primary sea route connecting Britain to its far-flung eastern colonies. The Suez bordered Egypt, a nominal Turkish province, and, when Turkey became involved in the war on Germany's side in 1915, Turkey attacked the canal. As a result the British declared war on Turkey and began an offensive against the Ottoman forces and their German advisers. The British, aided by various Arab groups, swept north through Palestine, Jordan, and Syria to Turkey's ultimate defeat in October 1918.
In Armageddon, 1918, eminent military historian Cyril Falls discusses the background of the World War I Middle East conflict and relates the final, critical campaign through Palestine, along with its notable personalities, including T. E. Lawrence, Emir Feisal, Kress von Kressenstein, and Edmund Allenby. Falls ends with a pertinent reflection on the subsequent history of the region, from the formation of Iraq in 1920 through the establishment of Israel, showing how the campaign in the Middle East brought into the international spotlight the tangled alliances and imperialistic and nationalistic desires that have left an indelible mark on the region to this day.
