"???ramos cuarenta y ocho hombres sin patria y sin uniforme; esper???bamos encontrar ambas cosas m???s all??? de las l???neas mexicanas." ???sta es la historia real de John Riley y de sus hombres irlandeses que, en 1846, peleaban en las filas de los Estados Unidos durante la guerra fronteriza con M???xico . Ellos, que hab???an escapado del hambre y de la opresi???n en su Irlanda natal , no pudieron permanecer sumisos ante la carnicer???a que su ej???rcito comet???a para expulsar a los mexicanos de sus tierras. ???sta es la leyenda de unos desertores que se cambiaron de bando para combatir la injusticia y formaron el Batall???n de San Patricio, una unidad de artiller???a del ej???rcito de la Rep???blica mexicana. ???sta es la recreaci???n de la infamia cometida contra Riley y los suyos, juzgados por alta traici???n, condenados y marcados a fuego en la mejilla con una D, de desertores, y tambi???n es una apasionante novela de perdedores , con toda la ???pica y el rigor hist???rico de Pino Cacucci. ENGLISH DESCRPTION "We were 48 men without uniform or country; we were hoping to find both things beyond the Mexican lines." This is the true story of John Riley and his Irish men who, in 1846, fought alongside US soldiers during the border war with Mexico. These men, who had escaped hunger and oppression in their native Ireland, could not remain passive in the face of the carnage that their army committed to expel the Mexicans from their land. This is the story of defectors who changed sides to combat injustice and formed St. Patrick's Battalion, an artillery unit in the Mexican Republic's army; the recreation of the disgrace committed against Riley and his men, tried for high treason, convicted and branded on the cheek with a D for deserter. It is also a thrilling novel of losers, with all of Pino Cacucci's epic and historical rigor.
