Echoing the shot heard round the world in 1776, the volleys fired by the Alamo defenders were aimed at the large and well-outfitted army of Santa Anna, self-styled "Napoleon of the West.?As the days of the siege are described, the author cinematically flashes back to pivotal points of destinythe circumstance that led each person to be inside the walls of the abandoned mission late in the winter of 1836.
