As a native Texan with family roots back to 1836, this is one of the best, well written accounts I’ve read and I’ve been a student of Texas history for many years. Excellent.

Remember the Alamo!!!! Enough said.

Learn about the Alamo as to what really took place!

This a wonderful piece of American history and deserves a place on your patriotic bookshelf. 🇺🇸

I thought I knew all about the Alamo, boy was I wrong! Learned a lot more interesting facts! Such a great book, glad I read it!

Not as good as his previous books.

Santa Ana came to disarm the TexIans, after brutally disarming the rest of Mexico. TexIans resisted in Gonzalez, telling the would be authoritarian and socialists to “come and take it” referring to their canon and guns. Don’t be fooled by the socialist agenda in America today. They seek to inflict the same brutality on citizens. Russia in the Ukraine today, Nazi’s in Poland, Stalin behind the iron curtain; and the list goes on and on. “Remember the Alamo” and “come and take it” should be put into the proper historical context for today’s citizens. Maybe it was Winston Churchill, or not, but the saying is quite valid, “those who do not remember history are condemned to relive it” It was Thomas Jefferson who said, “an armed society is a polite society.”

I enjoyed the pace of this book. However, I don’t know why the author included and presented speculative information from the Jose Enrique de la Peña diary as fact. Nothing new in this book. Great general overview of Texas Revolution.

It is great to read these books from Brian Kilmead. Living inTexas and knowing several of these area well it if nice to know the back story! Great book and thank you for putting it together!
