Book Description: 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. “Burrough, Tomlinson and Stanford build on this work, arguing that, ‘at its roots, the Texas Revolt was about money, how Texans made it, and why the Mexican government objected.’” —Andrew Graybill, WSJ
