Donovan, James

This well-researched and exciting book is recommended for all libraries with World War II collections.

Although there are a number of books chronicling the Apollo 11 moon landing, Donovan's account offers new interviews and extensive research in an accessible and engaging read, appealing to those without extensive knowledge on the subject.

While Donovan breaks no new ground on the story of the Alamo, he does tease out fresh tidbits from numerous archival sources to make the story come alive. This popular history will likely appeal to readers interested in Texas and military history along with those who love to read good adventure yarns. [See Prepub Alert, 10/21/11.]
