Product Description
In one of very few balanced accounts of Texas's epic struggle for independence from Mexico, Albert Nofi provides a splendid chronicle of the events and personalities of the war. He includes readable and accessible maps of military movements and a strategic and tactical analysis of each battle, addressing the extraordinary number of myths that the Alamo has engendered and exposing the truth about a conflict that has taken on legendary proportions.
About The Author
Albert A. Nofi has a Ph.D. in Military History from the City University of New York and was associate editor for many years of the ground-breaking military journal Strategy and Tactics. He was a founder of wargaming, the conflict simulation system used both by hobbyists and military planners. Dr. Nofi has written numerous books and articles on military history and was a news media military commentator during the Persian Gulf War. He is also the author of The Gettysburg Campaign and The Waterloo Campaign.
Reader Reviews
Don't waste your money on this one, unless you just HAVE to buy EVERY book on the Alamo and the Texas War. Serious students might want to check this one out from their local library, just to get another perspective, but that's about the only thing positive about this book. Inaccurate and careless research, need I say more ? There are plenty of well done tomes on this subject, but this isn't one of them. A better choice would be Edmondson's book: THE ALAMO STORY, or Hardin's: TEXIAN ILLIAD or better still, Todish's: ALAMO SOURCEBOOK 1836.
