Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. An alternate history short story in which Robert E. Lee, stationed in Texas prior to his home state of Virginia's seccession, finds himself protecting Federal military property from Rebel militia. He does it from inside the Alamo. Excellent read with a believable Lee. Recommended! ( ) I normally don’t include short stories in my list but since this was written by Harry Turtledove and was about the Civil War, Robert E. Lee, Texas and the Alamo it was just impossible to ignore. Robert E. Lee was stationed in Texas at the beginning of the unpleasantness and he did have something of a run-in with some pro-secession ruffians and was not particularly impressed (check out Carl Rister’s Robert E. Lee in Texas). Turtledove uses this incident as the jumping point on how things might have happened differently both for Lee and the nation. A very enjoyable short read.

In the history we know, General Robert E. Lee felt compelled to fight on the Confederate side, because honor (as he saw it) forbade him to take up arms against Virginia, his native state. But what if the demands of honor had led him in the other direction altogether? Harry Turtledove, author of perhaps the most famous alternate-history novel about Robert E. Lee (The Guns of the South, 1992), here returns with Lee at the Alamo, a look at what the great military leader might have done under only slightly different circumstances.
