Duel of the Eagles The Mexican and U.S. Fight for the Alamo

 

In this history of the battle for possession of Texas and the tragic battle that occurred at the Alamo, Long demystifies the legendary personages associated with the celebrated stand off and accounts for the often ignored Mexican perspective. Painting a picture of the Mexican American war as an opportunistic rush for free land and clean criminal records led by men of equal moral standing; Sam Houston, alcoholic and opium addict; James Bowie, slave trader; Davey Crockett "a great bear hunter and great liar but hardly great at anything else".
