About this book
The Red Hand of Ulster names George A. Birmingham as its author, who is also credited with Spanish Gold, The Major's Niece and Priscilla's Spies, among others. The text says that nobody expected the north of Ireland Protestants would actually fight. According to the text, half the politicians in both countries, and half the inhabitants of England, were laughing at the Belfast bluff. A character named Conroy, guided by the instinct for the true meaning of things which had led him to great wealth, believes that the talk was more than bluff.
When Conroy asks who the man is that Bob knows, Bob answers McNeice, Gideon McNeice. The text says a letter was the first direct evidence the Government got about what Conroy and McNeice and Bob were doing. The text also calls Godfrey's absurd letter the one that first suggested to the Cabinet that Conroy was using his yacht, the Finola, for importing arms into Ulster.
