Review title: Excellent overview
Product review: This book serves as an excellent overview of the events leading up to the Alamo, and it provides an equally good history of the controversies that have arisen since then. As other reviewers have noted, this won't answer all the questions; it's not a minute-by-minute account, and it doesn't end with the events of March 6, 1836. On the other hand, that's not the purpose of the book. Roberts and Olson provide a balanced look at some of the most emotionally charged controversies, giving several accounts of Crockett's death (they seem to side with de la Pena's) and helping the reader to weigh the evidence. The only thing that's missing is a map or two. Alamo buffs may know the exact distances and locations from Goliad to San Antonio to San Jacinto, the layout of the Alamo in 1836, and so forth, but maps of both would be helpful.
