520 The Protestant war cry of "No Surrender!" was first used
in 1689 by the Mayor of Londonderry as James II's army
laid siege to the city for 105 days and during which half
the city's population died. There were many acts of
courage-from the heroic death of Captain Browning to the
anonymous apprentice boys who played signal roles in the
defense of the city. The book examines how the Jacobites
might have achieved success, and the far reaching impact
of the siege as a crucial event in the second British
civil war. This is a military study of one of the most
iconic episodes in Irish history, based on contemporary
accounts, official records of the day, and published works
on the siege. With an understanding of seventeenth-century
warfare, especially siege craft, the author probes many of
the myths that have grown up around the siege and sets it
in its proper context.
