In Reds, The St. Patrick's Battalion,
the author weaves the story of a family that migrates from Ireland
to colonize Texas, at the time when American settlers fought to
secede from the Mexican Federation to become a nation that
ultimately joins the Unites States, event that kindles the war
against Mexico.
Carlos H. Cantu offers us in a superb
novel, the saga that involves a battalion of soldiers -mostly
Irishmen- who fought with the Mexican troops against the American
invaders, shedding light on historical myths such as the legend of
the Alamo, and on the reasons why Mexico, in losing the war, lost
half its territory to the United States.
