Summary
This is the true story of John Riley and his Irish men who, in 1846, fought alongside US soldiers during the border war with Mexico. These men, who had escaped hunger and oppression in their native Ireland, could not remain passive in the face of the carnage that their army committed to expel the Mexicans from their land. This is the story of defectors who changed sides to combat injustice and formed St. Patrick's Battalion, an artillery unit in the Mexican Republic's army; the recreation of the disgrace committed against Riley and his men, tried for high treason, convicted and branded on the cheek with a D for deserter. It is also a thrilling novel of losers, with all of Pino Cacucci's epic and historical rigor
