[Ted · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very short. Written well, with interesting black and white reproductions of maps and art work. For what it is intended, it is very good.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short e-book is an excellent analysis of the events leading up to the siege of the Alamo and the personalities involved. There are excellent reproductions of maps and drawings. I recommend this work to anyone interested in the oft reference battle and/or Texas. This was a free download from the Texas State Historical Association.

Listed in the popular history series - I expected a "young teen" book but found it to be excellent, well-based. I recommend it highly.
