Description
The Battle of Alamo: A New Perspective on the Heroes of 1836 The Battle of Alamo is a pivotal moment in American history, but few realise that a large number of those who fought and died for Texas at the Alamo were British. For the first time, the stories of these men, their lives and their deaths at the Alamo, are revealed in this narrative. The Alamo Mission, now an American national monument, was the site of a 13-day siege in 1836. The Mexican army, surrounded the fortification, and after a fierce assault, the defenders were killed, except for a few women and children, and one male slave. This heroic last stand is often compared to other dramatic battles, but the stories of the British men who fought and died at the Alamo have largely been forgotten. This book sheds new light on their experiences and the full story of this iconic encounter. Through the stories of men such as William Blazeby, John McGregor, and Robert Evans, the author provides a detailed account of the Battle of Alamo, exploring the controversy surrounding the deaths of American legends and redefining the iconic battle.
