Irish Brigades Abroad: From the Wild Geese to the Napoleonic Wars

Irish Brigades Abroad: From the Wild Geese to the Napoleonic Wars by Stephen McGarry
2014 | ISBN: 1845887999 | English | 288 pages | EPUB | 0.9 MB

The history of the Wild Geese including the Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, and Napoleon's Irish Legion.
Covering the period from King James II's reign of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland in 1685, until the disbandment of the Irish Brigades in France and Spain, this book looks at the origins, formation, recruitment, and the exploits of the Irish regiments, including their long years of campaigning from the War of the Grand Alliance in 1688 right through to the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. What emerges is a picture of the old-fashioned virtues of honor, chivalry, integrity and loyalty, of adventure and sacrifice in the name of a greater cause.
