Discover the untold story of the vital role the Irish played in the
American Revolution. George Washington changed the world and saved
democracy by defeating the British during the American War of
Independence. The Irish role in the American Revolution, the war
for the ages, has never been correctly reported. Because many of
the Irish who fought were poor and illiterate and left no memoirs,
their stories and role have never been told. Until now. The Irish
played a huge role in the American Revolution, not just on the
battlefield but also in the field hospitals and in the framing of
the Declaration of Independence. Learn the story of the famous spy
Hercules Mulligan, who saved George Washington's life on two
occasions and who was famously portrayed by Okieriete Onaodowan in
Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash hit Hamilton. Discover the story of
Edward Hoban, a carpenter from Ireland who Washington tasked with
building the most famous residence in the world: the White House.
Niall O'Dowd, author of Lincoln and the Irish and A New Ireland,
takes readers on a journey into the unexplored contributions of the
Irish in the American Revolution and behind the scenes of the
relationships of some of those men and women with the first
president of the United States. These unsung heroes of the American
Revolution have never gotten their due, never had their story told,
until now, in George Washington and the Irish.
