I cannot in conscience recommend this work. All in all it is a very difficult book to read and to extract information from, which is a shame because the general thrust of the argument is worth making. I'd like to see Tucker go back to his notes and write the two books that he has here tried to cram into one: a social and biographical history of the people who died at the Alamo, and a clear chronological synopsis of what actually happened. Most intelligent people would draw the correct conclusions from both.
For more American history we can recommend [[Signing Their Rights Away by Denise Kiernan]]. You might also appreciate [[The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull and the Battle of the Little Big Horn by Nathaniel Philbrick]] and [[What if They Knew by T R Hendrick]]. {{amazontext|amazon=1612000762}} {{waterstonestextamazonUStext|waterstonesamazon=85649671612000762}}
