The Confederate armies included in their ranks a remarkable range of nationalities - among them Germans, Irish, Italians, French, Poles, Mexicans, Cubans, Hungarians, Russians, Swedes, Danes, and Chinese. Covering the complete story of the activities of the foreigners in the Confederacy - in both military and civil service - this book recognizes their many contributions to the cause of the South. First published in 1940, it remains the only work on the subject.
