El Batallon de San Patricio la Desgarradora Historia de Los Combatientes Irlandeses en Mexico
Description:
We were forty-eight men without a country and without uniforms; we expected to find both beyond the Mexican lines. This is the true story of John Riley and his Irish men who, in 1846, fought in the ranks of the United States during the Border War with Mexico. They, who had escaped hunger and oppression in their native Ireland, could not remain submissive in the face of the carnage their army committed to expel the Mexicans from their lands. This is the legend of some deserters who changed sides to fight injustice and formed the San Patricio Battalion, an artillery unit of the Mexican Army. This is the recreation of the infamy committed against Riley and his men, tried for high treason and branded on the cheek with a D, for deserters, and it is also an exciting novel about losers, with all the epic and historical rigor of Pino Cacucci.
