1690: ‘Derry, Aughrim and the Boyne’. By Deery Aidan Campbel (Militant, July-August 1990; online at Internet Archive). “The outcome of the war led to two centuries of oppression of the peasantry. It led to the bloody conflicts that have left a legacy today. It is up to the united working class in fighting for a socialist Ireland and a socialist federation of Britain and Ireland to end that legacy.”
