Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers

I enjoyed this short but exciting book by Brian Kilmeade. We all know the ultimate outcome of the Alamo, but how the brave defenders were avenged was something I wasn't familiar with.
Mexican General Santa Anna brutally refused to give quarter and take prisoners, executing everyone at the Alamo and later, Goliad, despite them surrendering. The Texas Army rallied behind Sam Houston and his rousing battle cry of "Remember the Alamo!" and ended up crushing the much bigger Mexican Army at San Jacinto. Santa Anna was captured and the Republic of Texas was recognized as an independent country.
