description: The Northern Ireland crisis is more than a struggle between Catholics and Protestants. Economic change has undermined the old Unionist Party/Orange Lodges alliance. Protestant workers are no longer tied to the local bourgeoisie. International capital has resulted in a new Catholic middle class. British and EEC interests increasingly threaten Protestant patronage which has been the mainstay of sectarianism. Probert's book is the first which allows us to understand the forces behind the profusion of new organisations which have sprung up in recent Vanguard, Paisley's DUP, the UDA, the UWC, and the Provo's. Her history of these groups---- of their confrontation with the Unionist Government, the British Army, and each other---explains the real crisis of Northern the crisis of a land being remodelled by modern capitalism.
