Summary
Tells the story of a group of recent immigrants who deserted from the U.S. Army to fight on behalf of Mexico
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This is a detailed, well written account of the Saint Patrick's Battalion, "The San Patricios," a notable extension of the Mexican Army during the War of 1846-1848. As many as 200 U.S. Army deserters joined the San Patricios and fought against their former troops in five major battles. It covers and exposes the many sides of human vulnerability to poor decision making and resultant heavy price they paid.
