About this product
Product Information
Shamrock and Sword 's setting is the U.S.-Mexican War, remembered by Americans as an illustration of Manifest Destiny, the inevitable extension of the American frontier. It is remembered differently by Mexicans, who lost a substantial portion of their territory to an invading army. Perceptions on both sides of the border will be reshaped by Robert Ryal Miller's account of American soldiers who deserted to fight in the Mexican army. Miller uncovers the reasons for these desertions, presenting the soldiers' stories as they are revealed in records of the time. Many of these deserters were immigrant Irishmen.

Item never arrived. No tracking number was provided, just a ship notice. After contacting the seller for a tracking number I was told there wasn't one and to wait longer, despite the estimated delivery date having passed. Ended up getting a refund, but it was two weeks after the purchase. The book was only traveling from Southern California to Arizona, this issue should have been remedied much faster and tracking information should always be provided to the buyer.
