Dereliction of Duty: History's Worst Massacre of American Soldiers and the Most Unlikely Heroine Ever

This is the true and dramatic story of the Texas “war for independence.” It is not anything like what you’ve previously been told or heard. Among the amazing, true facts: 1.) there were no Texans at the Alamo; 2.) One of the unpublicized heroes of the revolution was a teenaged Mexican girl, the mistress of an enemy soldier; 3.) Texans were not even involved in their own war for independence until the very end; it was fought mostly by “outsiders” (Americans); 4.) The original Texas government was so confused that it actually had two governors and four military commanders at the same time, all arguing with one another; 5.) The incompetence of one of the men always hailed as a Texas hero actually led to the worst massacre of American soldiers in all of history. We think you’ll find the truth interesting, dramatic, and heart-wrenching.
