More about the book

The book highlights the significant yet overlooked contributions of the Irish in the American struggle for independence from 1775 to 1783. It emphasizes their military, political, and economic roles, particularly in pivotal battles like Trenton and Cowpens. Despite their crucial involvement, anti-Irish sentiment led to their contributions being minimized in historical narratives. New evidence reveals that Irish soldiers constituted nearly half of George Washington's Continental Army, especially during critical moments. This work aims to restore the Irish legacy in the context of the American Revolution through extensive research and primary sources.
