Book Reviews of St. Patrick's Battalion: A Novel of the Mexican-American War
Book Review: America is bad! Bad, Bad, Bad!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Having read all of Thom's novels I am increasingly disappointed at his slide into sterotypical, revisionist story telling. Reading Mr Thom's novels starting with From Sea to Shining Sea, where Americans are brave, noble frontier folk you can follow the descent of the pioneers to brutish, amoral thugs interested only in killing as many indians as possible while stealing their land. Native Americans however become ever more noble and without blemish as persecution by the evil whites increases.
Even taking into account the realities of frontier history, such simplistic stereotyping (Indian=good, Whiteman=bad) ruins what were once enjoyable novels of America's early years transforming them into just more "Evil American" trash.
This is the last time Thom suckers me out of the price of a book.
