Fighting Like the Devil for the Sake of God by Mark Doyle
A work about Belfast in the middle of the nineteenth century. It looks at how and why Ireland's most prosperous and industrialized town began to tear itself apart. It tells that through a series of steadily escalating riots, working-class Protestants and Catholics forged a tradition of violence that profoundly shaped their own identities.
'This is a significant and original study that should have a profound influence on how historians understand the evolution and meanings of violence in UlsterThe book is engagingly written, deftly integrates a broad range of historical and cultural sources and provides a new historical, and no doubt controversial, narrative and analysis that is bound to engage the attentions of historians, cultural analysts and students for quite some time to come.' Professor Maria Luddy, University of Warwick
