The
New York Times bestseller now in paperback with a new epilogue.
In March 1836, the Mexican army
led by General Santa Anna massacred more than two hundred Texians who had been
trapped in the Alamo. After thirteen days of fighting, American legends Jim Bowie
and Davey Crockett died there, along with other Americans who had moved to
Texas looking for a fresh start. It was a crushing blow to Texas’s fight for
freedom.
But the story doesn’t end
there. The defeat galvanized the Texian settlers, and under General Sam
Houston’s leadership they rallied. Six weeks after the Alamo, Houston and his
band of settlers defeated Santa Anna’s army in a shocking victory, winning the
independence for which so many had died.
Sam Houston and the Alamo
Avengers recaptures this pivotal war that changed America forever, and sheds
light on the tightrope all war heroes walk between courage and calculation.
Thanks to Kilmeade’s storytelling, a new generation of readers will remember
the Alamo—and recognize the lesser known heroes who snatched victory from the
jaws of defeat.
