From the first few chapters that sketch the pertinent history of Ireland to the dramatic descriptions of battles such as Antietam and Fredericksburg, this book presents an intense focus on one Union fighting unit. The text clearly conveys the collective soul of the Irish Brigade and details the heroics of its major leaders. Illustrated with both vintage and modern photos, sketches, and maps, the book is simply and effectively designed. Bib., ind.
