Forget the Alamo by Bryan Burrough & Chris Tomlinson & Jason Stanford Summary
Overview of Forget the Alamo

The Alamo: America's Most Misunderstood Shrine
The Alamo stands as Texas's secular Western Wall-a shrine where visitors speak in hushed tones, symbolizing American resolve and Texas exceptionalism. But the story most Americans know-brave heroes like Crockett, Bowie, and Travis dying fighting Mexican dictator Santa Anna to secure Texas liberty-masks a far more complex reality. Unlike other historical monuments undergoing critical reassessment, the Alamo's defenders-who fought to establish what became a militant slave nation-have largely escaped scrutiny. As Latinos approach majority status in Texas and Americans everywhere reconsider historical monuments, the traditional Alamo narrative faces unprecedented challenges. The battle wasn't simply about freedom fighters resisting tyranny-it emerged from complex economic forces, imperial ambitions, and most critically, the determination to preserve slavery in defiance of Mexican law. This hidden history reveals uncomfortable truths about American expansion and the myths we construct to justify it.
