So I still don't find military history that interesting - so a lot of this part of the book kind of washes over me. But the undercurrent of being loyal to Ireland while serving America (and fighting to end slavery) is felt.

I could see this being a good Oscar-bait biopic tbh. Charismatic Irish outcast fighting in the Civil War against the Confederates after being exiled to the Penal Colony of Australia. It's pretty much larger than life

Australia section was not as interesting (though... it's literally non-fiction) but still, Great Britain has a lot of apologizing to do. Just in time for the 4th of July

British people were BRUTAL to Ireland in ways I did not expect. Cromwell and Trevelyan deserve a special place in hell. The fact Ireland preserved their culture is just amazing. Expected this to be a fun read but now I just got sad reading the first quarter, but also inspired by Meaghre's words and resilience.
