Synopsis
After two short weeks under siege, the climactic battle of the Alamo lasted under an hour, but its aftermath spawned a legend. The Alamo explores the transformation of the fort from its 1718 inception as a Franciscan mission to its current status as a tourist attraction, historical monument, and international symbol of freedom.

Review
"For readers who seek information concerning the Alamo battle and its place in the national psyche, The Alamo constitutes one-stop shopping. Many of its illustrations are extremely rare and some have never appeared in public prior to their appearance in Thompson's book."
