Description:From the preface: "My purpose, in this book, is to tell the facts of James Craig's career, and, second, to expound and interpret as far as I am capable of doing so, the beliefs and political faith of Ulster Unionists, of whom I am one. I can do this best in terms of Craig's life, for he, more than any single individual, embodied these beliefs and maintained this faith. We Ulster people hold him in particular pride. He was our man, blood of our blood, bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh. Ulster set its seal upon him, and he set his seal upon Ulster. In accent and mind, in body and belief, James Craig, born and bred and buried in the County of Down, was unmistakably marked by his people and his country. He was an Ulsterman. The name Craig means a rock. No name ever fitted a man more closely than his surname fitted James Craig. But it fits also his people, and as closely. He did not, indeed, accept the post of Prime Minister of Northern Ireland with alacrity. A larger field at Westminster attracted him. But the place was reserved for him, and, like Luther, God helping him, he could do no other. He was a destined man. James Craig, was, under God, chosen to perform this task that must have baffled, if not defeated, any other person. This belief involves no high flown opinions about him. Other men were more erudite and better read than he was. Their minds were complex, his was simple. He was not a scholar. But Ulstermen maintain, and time has upheld their conviction, that James Craig achieved what no other man could have achieved. Against that rock, the gates of the Eirean hell could not prevail."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
