Review Quotes: This book breaks much new ground in the scrutiny of under-researched aspects of Orangeism, and it does so in a valuable comparative and transnational framework. Many new thought-provoking perspectives are provided on the Orange movement across the British Isles, North America, Australasia and Africa. It is a major contribution to scholarship on the subject.--Graham Walker, Emeritus Professor of Political History at Queen's University Belfast
