God Save Ulster! by Steve Bruce
This unique insight into Unionist politics and religion in Northern Ireland centres on the enigmatic and charismatic qualities of the Rev Ian Paisley, the only modern Western leader to have founded his own Church, the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, and his own political party, the Democratic Unionist Party. In this first serious study of Paisley's dual career, Dr Bruce analyses his enduring popularity and success, which mirror the complex issues continuing to plague the province.Steve Bruce, Professor of Sociology, University of Aberdeen Steve Bruce is an internationally renowned sociologist of religion.
