48 page full colour graphic novel - The Flight of the Wild Geese refers to the departure of the Irish Jacobite army under the command of Patrick Sarsfield from Ireland to France, as agreed in the Treaty of Limerick on the 3rd October 1691, following the end of the Williamite War in Ireland. The term ‘Wild Geese’ is used in Irish history to refer to the Irish soldiers who left Ireland to serve in European armies during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The first Flight took place in 1607, when Hugh O’Neill and Rory O’Donnell set sail from Loch Swilly in Co. Donegal. Patrick Sarsfield led the second flight. Sarsfield was the vital Irish figure in the final scene of that tragedy.

Poyntz and Grace portray this tragic story from the Siege of Athlone in 1691, to Battle of Aughrim, and the Treaty of Limerick, including the initial exploits of the Irish Brigade in the service of France.
