Reader Reviews
No reader without at least a basic understanding of the events and personalities connected with the Alamo battle should tackle Todd Hansen's "The Alamo Reader", but once a decent grounding in the history of that famous fight has been acquired -- and if that reader really wants to understand what happened -- then Hansen's book is a marvelous resource. An extraordinary range of primary source material is presented in the volume, and not just excerpts from one version of an eyewitness's account, but the whole of every variation. Hansen provides commentaries to help evaluate these sources for reliability, but the final evaluation of which to accept and which to reject is left to the judgment of the reader. Analytical essays by various noted Alamo experts are also provided for additional illumination. There has been nothing like this ever published about the Alamo before (and seldom about any other historical topic), and I cannot conceive how anyone seriously interested in the Alamo could not want a copy of Hansen's book on their shelves.
