Three noted Texan writers combine forces to tell the real story of the Alamo, dispelling the myths, exploring why they had their day for so long, and explaining why the ugly fight about its meaning is now coming to a head.
What The Reviewers Say
... requires a tolerance for some lowbrow jocularity, especially in the opening chapters...But the narrative soon hits its stride, and the story becomes a lively and absorbing one.
... muscular prose that’s heavy on deadpan understatement.
... engrossing.
For readers unfamiliar with either half of the story, the book provides a useful introduction.
