This latest narrative about the Alamo is almost sure to cause consternation among traditional aficionados of the fight for Texas liberty. However, using documented sources for both the Texan and Mexican side, the author makes some very revealing conclusions. The final fight for the Alamo was not in brilliant sunlight but a pre-dawn attack forcing a wild melee from surprised defenders. Most of the defenders died in breakouts from the fort, men choosing to fight another day, but intercepted and all killed by Mexican General Sesma's lancers. Tucker recounts the prelude history and notes that the defenders were not soldiers but clerks and merchants even abandoned by Sam Houston and investors who sought the "liberty" of establishing a cotton empire with slavery. Santa Anna was an abolitionist and slavery was prohibited under the Mexican constitution at the time. A thought-provoking work. Illustrated. Haverton, PA, Casemate Publishers 2010 1st Ed., 6 x9, 404 Pgs., HB.
