Book Reviews of The Alamo
Book Review: The Alamo
Summary: 5 Stars
A really great informative book on every aspect of the battle of the Alamo on what led up to the battle, and what happened after the Alamo was taken and the defeat of Santa Anna at San Jacinto. The good thing about this book is the pictures and the biographys of the main characters inside the Alamo namely David Crockett James Bowie and William Barrett Travis. All in All it is one of my best books on the Alamo and I have a considerable Library that I am now building up on a part of American History which will never diminish as long as I live.Book Review: Ultimate Alamo Picture Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, it should be clarified that the book being discussed here is Frank Thompson's THE ALAMO, Salamander Press, UK. It is NOT the novelization of the film ,nor is it the movie tie-in "Making Of..." book.
That being said, THE ALAMO is, in a word, the ultimate Alamo picture book. With over 150 FULL COLOR illustrations, accompanied by captions in Mr. Thompson's own inimitable style, the large, coffee table-sized book will keep you mesmerized as Frank digs into and then explains the minutiae behind that beloved old pile of limestone and mud.
The accompanying text is a straight-forward telling of the Alamo story utilizing the latest in Alamo research, while relying upon Mr. Thompson own keen insight on the subject matter.
From the Alamo's place in history, its changing perceptions throughout the years, through its interpretation in film, the printed word and collectibles, this book will have you returning for repeated 'look-sees' and for the sheer joy of it.
It do!
