Review of Wolves in The Irish Story

Here is a really thorough and insightful review of Wolves of Eden by Irish historian John Dorney in the Irish Story. If you've any interest in Irish history, I can't recommend the Irish Story enough.

From the Irish Story review:  "The eerie existence of the isolated frontier fort and the savage nature of frontier warfare (on both sides) is well evoked in Wolves of Eden. Between the closing in of Kohn on the murderers and the steady escalation of the war with the Sioux, tension is ratcheted up throughout the second half of the book before reaching a bloody crescendo in its final act. The book flies along at good pace and is certainly recommended as a good and satisfying read as well as an insightful and poignant portrayal of Irish immigrants in the 19th century wars for America."
