A very ugly part of the 1840s war between the United States and Mexico, some US Catholic troops rebelled against the war for various reasons and some of them formed the San Patricios unit. This unit fought to the death in its final battle and there is a museum and memorial in Mexico. The art is more like charcoal drawings as opposed to ink, its excellent and enhances the story which without the artwork, would lack impact. A very moving novel.
