The Irish Soldiers of Mexico sold out four editions in English and
two editions in Spanish from 1997 to 2001. It has been the basis of
an MGM feature film and two documentaries; it has also been used in
many history classes both in the United States and abroad. Includes
new historical material such as the location of what purported to
be a death certificate for John Riley located in a church in
Veracruz. The edition includes updated "After the War" and
"Commemorations" sections. Many positive changes in public
perception of the San Patricios have taken place since the first
publication of this book in 1997. In addition, there have been a
number of new vehicles for dissemination of the history, not the
least of which was the production of "One Man's Hero," starring Tom
Berenger, three novels on the San Patricios, a new sculpture in
Mexico City of John Riley donated by the people of Ireland, and the
Chieftains new CD with songs commemorating the Irish battalion.
