About this product

Product Information

In March 1836, the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna massacred about 200-250 Texans who had been trapped in a church in San Antonio for thirteen days. The devastating loss galvanised the surviving Texans. Under General Sam Houston, a maverick with a rocky past, the tiny army of settlers rallied. Just one month after the massacre, the underdog Texans soundly defeated the 'Napoleon of the West' (as Santa Anna styled himself) at the Battle of San Jacinto. Thanks to Kilmeade's storytelling, a new generation of readers will remember the Alamo.

Reviews
From ANDREW JACKSON AND THE MIRACLE OF NEW ORLEANS "Riveting history that reads like a stay-up-all-night thriller. Don't miss this book!" -Brad Thor , author of Use of Force "A tale as improbable as it is spellbinding, told with deft touch and insightful clarity. Brian Kilmeade has done it again." -General Stanley McChrystal (U.S. Army, Retired) , author of Team of Teams " The scholarship is impeccable, the topic immensely important, the story masterfully crafted. This little gem of a book belongs on the bookshelf of every history buff. What a triumph!" -Jay Winik , author of April 1865 and 1944 "A wild, page-turning history of one of America's most fascinating battles." -Brad Meltzer , bestselling author of The President's Shadow "Brian Kilmeade, who has a gift for narrative and an intuitive feel for great stories, has written an exciting account of New Orleans and how that battle changed America down the decades." -Jon Meacham , author of Thomas Jefferson , American Lion , Destiny and Power , and Franklin and Winston . From THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE TRIPOLI PIRATES "A riveting book of history that reads as though it were ripped from today's headlines, and a must read for anyone seeking an understanding of the roots of U.S. foreign policy." --ADMIRAL JAMES STAVRIDIS (Ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander at NATO; dean of The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University "This is a well-told tale, and there are lessons aplenty about both diplomacy and warfare--with useful application to the challenges the United States faces in our own time." --PROFESSOR LARRY J. SABATO, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics; author of The Kennedy Half-Century

    Not well know exciting History.

    Kilmeade brings History alive in another of his fine books. The struggles of Texas's independence from Mexico is a subject not taught much in school. Here it all comes alive.
