Excellent!

This is an excellent book on the Alamo, very accurate, easy to read and thoroughly enjoyable. After visiting San Antonio last winter, and touring the Alamo, this book was just the thing to expand on the knowledge gained from the IMAX movie and tour. Highly recommend!

A fine tribute to the fallen heroes of the Alamo!

I remember United States History from high school and how the Alamo was overrun by a huge Mexican Army lead by Santa Ana. I also remember John Wayne portraying Davy Crockett in the movie version of the Alamo.All of that was fine until I was able to read this book and what I missed from high school and the movies was filled in. Reading this book brought to life the what really happened at that missionary in Texas.Once you open this book and start reading you'll be transformed back in time and ride along with Fanin's Army, meet Sam Houston, follow Jim Bowie and share a laugh with Davy Crockett.The author's ability to transform the one event that has always remain the folklore of history into so much more is nothing short of remarkable. It was one of the best books I have read all year - excellent job!
