The Battle of the Alamo represented for Mexico an inconsequential victory in the war against the rebellious settlers who sought the independence of Texas. For the United States, it is the cornerstone that would give new meaning to its concept of nation and the empire it would become. What really happened? Why does an unimportant battle concentrate the black heart of the American empire? Paco Ignacio Taibo II meticulously reconstructs the facts and tells us how they lied, deceived, heroics were fabricated and weaknesses were omitted in pursuit of the legend. The Alamo aims to open the door to debate on an event that until now had been a tiny footnote in a history that has been decreed forgotten in Mexico. Because far from the American rhetoric of "they fought to give us freedom, that's all we need to know, " there's a lot we need to know. Much more. La batalla de El? ? amo represent? ? para M? ? xico una victoria sin trascendencia en la guerra contra los colonos rebeldes que buscaban la independencia de Texas. Para Estados Unidos se trata de la piedra angular que dar? ? un nuevo sentido a su concepto de naci? ? n y al imperio en el que se convertir? ? . ? ? Qu? ? ocurri? ? realmente? ? ? Por qu? ? una batalla sin mayor importancia concentra el coraz? ? n negro del imperio norteamericano? Paco Ignacio Taibo II reconstruye minuciosamente los hechos y nos cuenta c? ? mo se minti? ? , se enga? ? ? ? , se fabricaron heroicidades y se omitieron flaquezas en pos de la leyenda. El? ? amo pretende abrir la puerta del debate sobre un hecho que hasta ahora hab? ? sido una min? ? scula nota de pie de p? ? ina en una historia que se ha decretado como olvidada en M? ? xico. Porque lejos de la ret? ? rica estadounidense de "lucharon para darnos libertad, eso es todo lo que necesitamos saber", es mucho lo que necesitamos saber. Mucho m? ? 243 pp.
