I don’t know if this fits what you’re looking for but seeing that the book you mentioned is about the Irish it is the first thing that came to mind.
Thanks for the synopsis, I will have to check it out. I'm reading this book right now and it sounds like there would be a lot of overlap ---> https://www.amazon.com/Immortal-Irishman-Revolutionary-Became-American/dp/0544944836/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540495352&sr=8-1&keywords=immortal+irishman
