"[The author] reveals the reasons why thousands of Irish Catholics-- the most despised immigrant group in America at the time-- rallied to the Union cause and proved themselves to be among the most ferocious fighters of the war. He examines the character of the Irish Brigade's two most popular commanders, Michael Corcoran, a man of unshakable principles, and Thomas Francis Meagher, a complex man with many fine qualities-- and almost as many flaws.
