Why and How Texians Took on Mexico
Sam Houston & The Alamo Avengers: The Texas Victory That Changed American History, by Brian Kilmeade, New York: Sentinel, 2019, 234 pages, hardback.
Brian Kilmeade, author of the New York Times best-seller George Washington’s Secret Six and two other books on American history (Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates and Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans), has produced yet another retelling of a famous event, the story of the Texas Revolution of 1836. Written in his entertaining, yet informative, style, this is a version written for a popular audience on the stirring events of the Texas Revolution — the heroic defense of the Alamo, followed six weeks later by the Texian (as they were then called) victory at San Jacinto under the leadership of Sam Houston.
After reading this book, a person will know why this story has inspired so many people since 1836.
