Irish heroes of the Revolutionary War

George Washington changed the world by defeating the British in the American War of Independence. However, the role of the Irish in the Revolutionary War has never been fully reported. The Irish were vital to the American war effort, not just on the battlefield but also in field hospitals and in the framing of the Declaration of Independence. Because many of the Irish who fought were poor and left no memoirs, their stories have never been told—until now.

With this fascinating history, author Niall O’Dowd takes readers on a journey into the unexplored contributions of the Irish who risked everything for America. O’Dowd also sheds light on the personal relationships that Washington forged with these brave men and women.
