Book Reviews of The Alamo
Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Frank Thompson does a great job of depicting the sadness and triumph of the real battle in San Antonio. This is a marvelous movie tie-in. Thompson does an astounding job of creating the characters, especially Crockett, Bowie, and Travis. He also does a good job showing Sam Houston, a man trying to decide between his destiny as a general of war, or a life with his Cherokee Indian wife, Talihina. This is a great book, and I highly recommend reading it.
