Reissued on the 165th anniversary of the War: A strategic examination of one of America's most dramatic battles. In one of very few balanced accounts of Texas's epic struggle for independence from Mexico, Albert Nofi provides a splendid chronicle of the events and personalities of the war. He includes readable and accessible maps of military movements and a strategic and tactical analysis of each battle, addressing the extraordinary number of myths that the Alamo has engendered and exposing the truth about a conflict that has taken on legendary proportions.
ALBERT A. NOFI is the author of many books, including A Civil War Treasury (Da Capo). He also serves as a military commentator on radio and television. He is currently living in Alexandria, Virginia.
