This book tells the powerful story of Irish soldiers in foreign wars. Providing an authoritative account of conflicts from the American Civil War to Vietnam, journalist and broadcaster Myles Dungan captures the reminiscences and recollections of hundreds of Irishmen who fought in distant lands. Written memoirs, diaries and letters form the basis of personal history during the earlier wars, while more recent conflicts, such as the Cold War, are viewed through the eyes of the veterans who survived them. It is the experiences of these men, whether economic migrants, political exiles, adventurers or idealists, and their involvement in conflicts that have often been ignored that Dungan so competently explores.
