| Summary | "The Great Fraud of Ulster" by T. M. Healy is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work investigates a complex and underreported facet of Irish history, focusing on the legal and administrative machinations that led to the systematic plunder of Ulster by English officials during the Tudor and Stuart periods. The text aims to shed light on the corruption and betrayal faced by the Irish people, specifically exploring the roles played by key figures in the English administration. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by contrasting the glory of Elizabethan England with the devastation in Ireland, where officials engaged in deceitful practices to enrich themselves at the expense of the Irish nobility. Healy introduces the reader to the central figures involved in this historical fraud, detailing how powerful English officials manipulated legal documents and royal letters to claim vast tracts of land and resources that rightfully belonged to the Irish chieftains. He emphasizes the intertwining of personal ambition and systemic fraud, suggesting that the corrupt practices of the time have left lingering impacts on the socio-political landscape of Ireland. This opening portion prepares the reader for a deeper exploration of the themes of greed, betrayal, and the consequences of imperialism woven throughout the book.
