In reviewing The Irish Soldiers of Mexico, Hans Vogel of Leiden University noted: “This book is sound military history, taking into account both major currents of the discipline as it is now being practiced.

At just under two hundred pages of text, Abraham Lincoln and Mexico is concise but minces no words, and in an era of ugly political rhetoric and wall building at the border, is ever so timely.”[12] In addition, his work has appeared in dozens of anthologies and textbooks.
