A huge, riveting, deeply imagined novel about the siege and fall of the Alamo in 1836, an event that formed the conscousness of Texas and that resonates through American history. It follows the lives of 3 people whose fates become bound to the now-fabled Texas fort. The story unfolds with vivid immediacy and describes the pivotal battle from the perspective of the Mexican attackers as well as the American defenders. Filled with dramatic scenes and abounding in fictional and historical personalities. A historical novel at its best.
