"We Texans know how special our history is. Now, thanks to Brian Kilmeade's new book, the rest of the country can also celebrate the way defeat gave way to glory."
-Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks

"This story shouldn't be possible-and yet it is, filled with unlikely heroes forced to face staggering odds. Like our country itself, Sam Houston & the Alamo Avengers staggers, inspires, and reminds us of the power of real leaders."
-Brad Meltzer, author of The First Conspiracy

"This magnificent jewel of a book is Brian Kilmeade's finest yet. The narrative is by turns riveting, poignant, and irresistible, while the scholarship is impeccable. What an achievement!"
-Jay Winik, author of April 1865 and 1944

-Admiral James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and author of Sailing True North

"A fast-paced romp through the Texas Revolution that feels more like a novel than nonfiction. Kilmeade presents the leaders of the Lone Star State as the flawed and fearless heroes they truly were, and their David and Goliath story that changed American history is riveting reading."
-Stephen L. Moore, author of Eighteen Minutes and Texas Rising

"As a historian who has spent years working with the public, I believe the stories we tell should be accessible, interesting, and accurate. Brian Kilmeade hits all three points in Sam Houston & the Alamo Avengers."
-Dr. Richard Bruce Winders, author of Mr. Polk's Army, Crisis in the Southwest, and Sacrificed at the Alamo
