Book Synopsis
The story of the St Patrick's Battalion (San Patricios), which was composed mainly of Irish-American deserters from the US army who joined the Mexican army to fight against their countrymen. Treated as traitors by the United States, they were viewed as heroes by the Mexican government.

Trade Review
Miller thoroughly investigates every legend about the battalion and the individuals who served in it. . . . Miller's book is both a detailed history of the San Patricios and a good brief summary of the entire U.S. - Mexican War.""
