Why read it?
1 author picked Saint Patrick's Battalion as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed this fictional account of the Irish Battalion, which is told through the eyes of two Mexican and American boys. We learn there were also Scots and Germans involved and that both sides were brutal.
This book is accessible to young adults as well as mature readers and is compelling because of the fast-paced, visual action scenes.
From Michael's list on the Irish who fought for Mexico.
