Through the Eye of the Scribe: A Historiography of Ulster Unionism between 1800 and 1922

Ralph Hauptmann (*1965), originally a student of English, Roman and Celtic Studies, as well as Comparative Linguistics, started his professional career as a lecturer of English Linguistics and English and Irish History at the Humboldt University of Berlin. In 1991 he left academic life, studied Operations Management and spent the next 22 years first as a private lecturer of financial accounting, fiscal laws and controlling and later as a consultant of service operations and organisation development advisor, primarily in the leisure industry, managing cinemas, nature science centres, exhibitions and the like. In 2013, after getting married, he decided to give his life a completely new direction, moved to Lisbon and started a new career in the service sector. Today he works as Senior Corporate Staff Trainer and Quality Assurance Analyst for a big multinational enterprise, from time to time travelling around the globe to implement training concepts. Ralph Hauptmann has never given up his passion for the Ancient Celts and Ireland. He has in the meantime written and published one illustrated subject book and three historical novels about the Celts, for the time being only available in German, but with translation already in progress. ＂THROUGH THE EYE OF THE SCRIBE＂ is his first book exclusively published in English.
