On the morning of March 6, 1836, in an old abandoned mission called the Alamo, a small Texas garrison, fought to the death rather than yield to an overwhelming army of Mexicans. Through the years, the garrison's heroic stand has become so clothed in folklore and romance that the truth has nearly been lost. In A Time to Stand, Walter Lord rediscovers and recreates the whole fascinating story.

Solid history with a lot of backstory

Absolutely loved the book. Although I consider myself a pretty well informed student of Texas and Alamo history, I came away much, much better informed than I was going in.
The author delves deeply into backstories on so many of the principals, I came away feeling like I knew many of them. He also wove together the timelines in a way that enabled me to gain a much better grasp on the entire story.
BRILLIANT in every way.
All of this was a bit dulled by the abysmal pronunciation of so many of places and things that make up this stirring story. Really now, take the time to read the script first then ask for help with the words you are damn well not able to pronounce correctly. This shortcoming was shameful.
