Why read it?
1 author picked The Alamo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The most influential Alamo book of the 1940s, and a major research source for the 1955 Alamo film, The Last Command. It may be one of, if not the first to get away from a legendary telling of the Alamo story. Western writer Myers also focused on the Alamo’s triumvirate, William Barret Travis, James Bowie, and Davy Crockett, as well as their adversary, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, giving insight into their lives and the motivations which brought them together at this battle. Myers’ opening and closing paragraphs may be the best prose of any Alamo book.
