Good summary of the battle

This is really a long article rather than a book. It's a well organized and well written account of the battle itself and the events leading up to it, with capsule descriptions of Sam Houston and other major Texans. The narrative was fast moving and enjoyable to read. The author points out all the improbable things that had to happen for the Texans to win their revolution.
