There is no Spanish worker, professional, intellectual or peasant who strikes a blow for freedom without our being intimately concerned.&” This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author&’s estate.

A Time to Stand: The Epic of the Alamo
by Walter LordThe #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Miracle of Dunkirk tells the story of the Texans who fought Santa Anna&’s troops at the Battle of the Alamo. Looking out over the walls of the whitewashed Alamo, sweltering in the intense sun of a February heat wave, Colonel William Travis knew his small garrison had little chance of holding back the Mexican army. Even after a call for reinforcements brought dozens of Texans determined to fight for their fledgling republic, the cause remained hopeless. Gunpowder was scarce, food was running out, and the compound was too large to easily defend with less than two hundred soldiers. Still, given the choice, only one man opted to surrender. The rest resolved to fight and die. After thirteen days, the Mexicans charged, and the Texans were slaughtered. In exquisite detail, Walter Lord recreates the fight to uphold the Texan flag. He sheds light not just on frontier celebrities like Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett, but on the ordinary soldiers who died alongside them. Though the fight ended two centuries ago, the men of the Alamo will never be forgotten.
