Sure, any part in particular?

It’s very difficult to find in-depth books or articles online about the Loyalist community. It’s even harder to find information that is pro-Loyalist or even just sympathetic to our cause. Most of the international support & attention goes to the IRA/Catholics/Sinn Fein/etc. I’ll give it a shot though!

What I know mostly comes from years of living & growing up in the loyalist community. The best way for a foreigner to learn about us would be to visit Belfast during the 11th/12th July celebrations & just talk to people. Or go see a Rangers match in Glasgow Scotland. Also if you ever are in Belfast, book a ‘black cab tour’ of the city. Most of the drivers are people that grew up during the Troubles & are very knowledgeable.

I’ll give you some general wiki links in the meantime.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Scots_people

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Unionist_Party - the only registered party in the UK that could be described as “3rd Position”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Defence_Association - the largest loyalist paramilitary. At its peak had 40,000 members marching through Belfast.

By the way, where does your username come from?

“True Blue” is a term Rangers football fans use for themselves. I was living in France at the time & that was the closest translation I could think of 😁
